Have you tried with SuperClassic or Classic? SuperServer 2.5.5 still
is a single thread per database, so basically all connections to one
database, all share the same thread. While SuperClassic, uses one
thread per connection and Classic uses one instance per connection.
With SuperServer 3.0, it will be a true multi-threaded environment
where you shouldn't see this kind of performance hit, since each
connection should be using their own thread.

At the beginning, we were using SuperServer, but after customers
reporting slowdowns, when at least one user was doing something in the
software that did use a lot of resources out of Firebird(i.e.: a
report with data analysis). We decided to try Classic(SuperClassic
wasn't available at the time), and our customers are not longer
reporting those slowdowns.

So, give Classic or SuperClassic a try. Unless, if you still want
SuperServer, give Firebird 3 Superserver Release Candidate 1 a try.

These stats are really good. Are they taken when the slowdown occurs,
with all the connections and queries active, or is it after they are
closed? Also, make certain that you are using a read-only transaction
for reading the data and use a short read/write transaction to
insert/update/delete data.
