You miss the point. Yes, you can configure 32-bit Classic to run as Superclassic but there is no point: Superclassic is designed to take advantage of resources that are available to 64-bit applications on a 64-bit OS and NOT AVAILABLE on a 32-bit OS....so:

1) running 32-bit SC on a 32-bit OS --> pointless
2) running 32-bit SC on a 64-bit OS --> pointless

In case you didn't know, v.2.1.x has 32-bit and 64-bit flavours.

First, for your own satisfaction, create test environments that compare apples with apples and oranges with oranges.

Forget the idea of running a 32-bit Superclassic on any platform as a realistic alternative to Firebird *anything-else*. At best, your tests will merely get you some more empirical support for that advice. ;-)
