Optimizing a Delphi 2009 app using Firebird 2.5 Alpha 1

The last few days I’ve spent optimizing an application written in Delphi 2009 that talks to a Firebird database using the standard TIBDatabase, TIBTransaction and TIBSQL components The application needs to do alot of reading/writing to the database, and was rather slow so I had to optimize it a little …The application is basically an Indy based Web-Server that receives simple GET parameters, does a thing or two in the DB and returns with the Success/Fail and a possible result from the DB.
