Hi Helen.

Thanks for your answer.

You are right.

But the "Windows 64 file cache performance"  was a problem, as said Sean.

Só 'reserving' 10GB as a RAM DRIVE grant that I would have always available RAM.

But now I solved the 'cache performance' and I will not need RAM DRIVE anymore.

Even so, the FB performance is not compatible to the hardware used to run it.

Fb uses RAM directly for sorts, if enough is available. It only takes the sort sets to disk if available RAM is insufficient.
