Ok. So, with 16G RAM and an OLTP emul database with ~ 2,9G, it is still recommended with Firebird 3 SS and the shared page cache, to rather use a smaller number, lets say 50K and keep the FileSystemCacheThreshold at 64K to have the file system cache enabled? Or e.g. increase both DefaultDbCachePages and FileSystemCacheThreshold? The main question is how to utilize cheap and available RAM best. >>>> TempCacheLimit = 1024M >>>> LockHashSlots = 22111 >>>> >>>> anything else is default (except TCP port). >>>> >>> >>> Try to install FileSystemCacheThreshold > DefaultDbCachePages. >>> If FileSystemCacheThreshold < DefaultDbCachePages file cache is disabled, >>> which may reduce performance ability to make some cases. >> >> From my understanding, file system cache is much more important for >> SC/CS than with a large single page cache in SS.
