Performance Benchmarking - Further Information As a follow-up to Friday’s Performance Benchmarking article, we’re pleased to share a clear and client-friendly graphic that highlights the speed improvements across the various Ostendo configurations. All timing results shown are expressed in seconds, rounded from their original millisecond recordings for easier comparison. These tests were conducted using the standard Firebird configuration, and we anticipate that even greater performance gains may be achievable through optimised Firebird settings.
