75. I did some benchmarking some time ago and Linux kernel fs cache
works about 10% faster than Firebird page cache, so there is really no
point using FB page cache unless you are storing the data on raw device.

Which version of Firebird are you using?

This approach works for all versions: You can use ps(1) to find all
fb_inet_server processes and then use lsof(8) to find the client IP
address and database file it is attached to. Combine this with top(1) to
see who is hogging the resources and how long it is attached to database.

Make sure xinetd is configured to allow 100+ connections to Firebird
service.
