What is the size of table vs. index data? Restore is basically limited by single core throughput and I've hardly seen restore being IO bound. What you could try is to provide a much larger (temporary) page buffers value (which you have to reduce before the restored database is going to be used in production!) during the restore, which might help during index re-creation. -- With regards, Thomas Steinmaurer http://www.upscene.com/ Professional Tools and Services for Firebird FB TraceManager, IB LogManager, Database Health Check, Tuning etc.
