Hi,

Firebird 3 is not a silver bullet, it mostly increases performance in 
the multiprocessing area.
With 30 connections, I would say that multiprocessing is not a problem, 
most likely you are having problems with SQL queries.


I would suggest to take a look on

Hi

We have an application with roughly 20 000 lines of code and have been 
using firebird 2.5 since the start. We do experience performance 
problems with 30+ client connections and are thinking of moving to 
firebird 3.


Is firebird 3 drastically going to improve performance and how immense 
would the conversion to firebird 3 be?


Thanks

Gian

You haven't provided any real details.

Are you using SuperServer or Classic engine?

What are you DB Page cache settings?

What is your DB page size?

Have you used gstat to check that you don't have long running transactions?

Have you used gstat to check the "depth" value of your indexes?  (should be 
less than 4)
