I am totally agree with Mark.
Ratio of page reads/page fetches for all queries has a little sense.
For example, the single badly designed query with many page fetches can
"improve" this parameter a lot, without any real improvement in the
performance, of course.

Hello Rudi,
Usually, queries with the dozens of millions of index operations are
responsible for high CPU usage.
You can find them with HQbird MonLogger: get snapshot during the high
CPU peak, open it, open tab Statements (disable check "Link to selected
attachment"), and sort on
Hi Josef,
Firebird 3 shows plan Natural for all procedures.
2.5 also sometimes shows Natural, sometimes - mix of plans of queries
inside the procedure.
So, you cannot apply this plan to the statement.
