Hi!

I have different Firebird instances/databases, one is running on Windows, 
another on Linux (the servers have different RAM amount as well). The execution 
of the same SQL code results in almost the same indexed reads, non-indexed 
reads statistics, but the numbers of read and fetch operations are incredibly 
different.

E.g. one instance has less than 1000 reads (and a bit more fetches) but the 
second instance has more than 40.000.000 reads (and more than 40.000.000 
fetches) when the same SQL code is executed (this code includes all types of 
DML statements - inserts, updates, deletes and selects). Namely, so many reads 
create performance issues.

Both databases have the same structure and the same data, including the same 
active indices. I guess that any performance differences and number of read 
operations is almost entirely due to the configuration.

How to interpret those data? And what can be done to reduce the number of read 
operations?

Thanks in advance!
