Hi Paul,

sorry for breaking the thread, but strangely neither my original message
nor your reply ever reached my mailbox, like all other fb-support
messages did instead... I browsed the group@yahoo to notice.

Anyway, more to the point: I'm using a 8192-page-sized DB on FB 1.5
server running on WinSOmething, with forced-write on. I will try to
repeat a comparable test varying these parameters in the weekend, and
will report back. What disturb me is the fact that *reading* is so much
slower than writing: if it would be the opposite I wouldn't be so
surprised, expecially given the Windows+forced-write context...

ciao, lele.
