Yes, we have several cases at different production environments with
high load (Windows, Linux), and found that high LockHashSlots value helps a lot.

The good value is around 10000.

BTW, Firebird 1.5 ignores value higher than 2048, IIRC.
Other Firebird versions accepts higher values without problems.
