Set,

Ok, thank you, I will wait your test report. Just want to say a few
things.

1. Do my test just with lasts standard versions of Firebird 2.1
Superserver and FlameRobin. Nothing else. FlameRobin reports the
minutes/seconds at the end of statistics (label Execute time).

2. Dont forget to give another try using MaxFileSystemCache = 0. I
think it will help you to see the problem (I mean what happens when
Firebird can't take advantage from filesystem cache).
