That's very interesting. The Express version of SQL Server is limited to 1 processor and 1 GB of memory. Maybe I'm not awake yet, but I would have expected the opposite results than what you show. I expected that as more users connected to SQL Server, it would slow down, from being too limited, and Firebird would show more speed.
