I am having a problem with the firebird super server which has its CPU peak
at 100% for at least 30 seconds. I came across
http://www.firebirdfaq.org/faq312/ which suggests a workable solution for me
as the site already does a backup early in the morning whilst not trading.
The system is also configured to restart Windows (XP) on completion.

I wanted to know whether restarting the OS (and therefore Firebird) would
have any effect on garbage collection. Also if the site is already set to
gbak with garbage collection and the the database is garbage collecting in
normal operation, doesn't this suggest that there is enough garbage
accumulating to need collection (or is the default sweep interval too
small)?

Thanks in advance,
