I have a conversion utility that is taking data from dbase tables
into a firebird gdb. The table in question has about 300,000 records
and over 100 fields. I am using IB_Scripts and posting every couple
thousand records. Initially it starts off fast, but after about
100,000 records or so, it slows to a crawl. This puts the conversion
utility at finishing the table in about 3 days (which is just too
long). I have the scripts posting in their own transaction that I
create each time and commit. I have also tried committing the main
physical transaction (which in my understanding from reading the
documentation should actually be taken care of on it is own, but hey
I thought I'd try). I thought maybe it was the BDE trying to scroll
the something that huge, so I called FetchAll on the dataset to just
pull back everything. The machine this is running should have more
than enough resources to handle this. Any other thoughts out there
that maybe I haven't tried?

Thanks for the help
