Of course, one CPU doesn't mean 1-connection-at-a-time... My guess is you'd still need a fair number of simultaneous connections before one CPU became the bottleneck. Don't forget also that if you're running Firebird in Superserver mode, it'll only make use of one CPU as well. Still, comparing database performance *in general* can be tricky. Some databases are better at some workloads than others, and vice versa. All you can do is compare them on the *particular* load your application creates. That does not (necessarily) mean your results are valid under ALL workloads. Having said that, there's certainly no harm in doing the comparison.
