Hi !

Firebird protocol is known to be chatty, so if you have a connection
with hight latency (like ADSL) you will have trouble.

You could use ZeBeDee or another tunneling software to compress the
traffic, but the major problem is the number of roundtrips.

Give a try to FB 2.1 (client and server !) that has a few protocol
improvements.

I will be glad if you could post some numbers about the found diference
between 2.1 and prior to 2.1 versions since I did not testes it by myself.


see you !
