Thanks,

I tried firing up Gregor Kobler's FBMonitor (similar to the old but dead 
Sinatica Monitor).

I found that OAT is 222085103 while OIT and OST (what's that?) is 
261140768 and growing. I assume the OAT must have got stuck somehow 
quite a while back, since it's so far behind the others. The machine was 
rebooted for upgrades rather recently, and I can't see any stuck 
transactions, so the OAT must be a zombie one.

No auto sweep (interval set to 0), so I'm trying a manual sweep now. 
Guess I should schedule that weekly or something.

I couldn't see anything interesting happening with the trans numbers 
when I exited the batch app. Will restart it after the manual sweep and 
see if anything interesting shows up. The slowdown, if still there, 
would probably happen after I go to sleep, so I'll have to follow up 
tomorrow.

Other info about the database, in case it says anything:

Page size: 16384
ODS: 12.0
Page buffers: 614400 (roughly 9.5 Gbyte)
Sweep interval: 0 (like I mentioned)
Forced writes: off (yes, I know the risks)

 From databases.conf:
DefaultDbCachePages = 600K (same as Page buffers above, of course)
FileSystemCacheThreshold = 1000K

 From firebird.conf:
FileSystemCacheSize = 40
TempCacheLimit = 4G
MaxUnflushedWrites = 100
MaxUnflushedWriteTime = 60
ServerMode = Super

All other performance params default. Some auth and access restriction 
params are non default, but I assume that's irrelevant.

System has 40 Gbyte RAM and the temp disks have 70+ Gbyte free.

Regards,
Kjell
