I agree :-)
 
All my databases are called .ib - and all the ones created by IB are .ib by default from 7.0 onwards. I have just noticed that some utilities (e.g. Rohits one?) that .gdb is the standard suffix.

Well, that’s old news and really odd fix. Not using gdb is really a much easier fix. Interbase doesn’t care what the file is called. Just name it idb for interbase database and there is no problem at all

Came across this:

Performance issue with Windows ME/XP

This issue was raised during the release of InterBase 7.0. If you have renamed your databases to have an extension other than ".gdb" or if none of your databases are on Windows platforms, you can ignore this section.

Microsoft has implemented a backup and restore utility called System Restore. This utility automatically backs up files that have certain extensions whenever they are touched. The old default InterBase file extension 'GDB' is on this list, which means that databases that have names ending in ".gdb" get backed up extremely frequently when they are in use. This is causing performance problems on Windows ME and XP systems.
