A colleague of mine has made some benchmarks using those two:
http://www.1006.org/pg/postgresql_firebird_win_linux.pdf
He benchmarked inserts done through *his* own Delphi code varying a few
parameters. The servers run on Windows in all tests. The clients
were on Windows or Linux.
The summary is that PG beats FB performance-wise in all tests except
when you do many small transactions (autocommit on) with fsync on.
