Paper covering Firebird
I have just published a performance benchmark paper which includes
Firebird in its tests.
http://devloop.org.uk/documentation/database-performance/
I hope you will find some of these results interesting, as I did.
I am planning on making a new series of tests, including an optimized setup.
Please bear in mind that the scope of the benchmark is limited (not
trying to do what TPC does).
