Additionally to Elmar's reply. As SuperClassic makes use of a local
cache per connection and as SC is based on a single process, SC only
makes sense as a 64-bit server, at least for medium and larger
installations.

When moving from a 32-bit to a 64-bit Firebird server, keep in mind that
UDF libraries need to be compiled for 64-bit.
