You will need to provide more information than this. What exactly is slow?
Connecting or using the database? How slow is it (as in what operations
take how many milliseconds etc)? Is your application using one connection
or multiple connections? Are you pooling connections or opening them when
you need and closing again when done? Are you running Firebird as classic
or superserver?

Can't look at your database: the mailinglist does not accept attachments.
If pagebuffers is set to 0, Firebird uses the default specified in
firebird.conf. Depending on the exact server configuration used, 4000 could
be excessive.

It would be helpful to show the output of gstat -h (see
http://www.firebirdsql.org/manual/gstat-example-header.html#d0e32928 )
