Firebird performance issues
How do you measure the performance of your own server or your clients'? Have you ever tried to compare the database speed of your Firebird server with new server hardware? Is a XEON Machine better than an Opteron? What improvements can you expect from fast SAS hard disks, RAID controllers or Enterprise SSDs?
The IBExpert Benchmark is a simple but effective tool, which gives you a reference benchmark, based on our recommended IFS Servers. Using IBExpert Benchmark you can generate and compare a reproducible speed index for your Firebird Server hardware. On average, our IFS servers with Firebird are 5 to 10 times faster than the server or virtual machines that our customers have previously used.
Perform the comparison yourself using our free IBExpert benchmark software on your Firebird server: https://ibexpert.net/benchmark/setup_benchmark.exe
