Ok, I did that. When I change the page size from 4kbyte to 16 kbyte my
queries execute *way faster. but what's all the fuss about? just to
make myself some idea of how these pages are physically represented in
the database and see whether there's a way to speed things up even more..
is there a reason why ibexpert offers me page sizes of 4, 8 and 16
kbyte or would it be equally meaningful to change the page size in the
script to, say 3 kbyte or anything else?

thanx,

martin
