VVV (Virtual Volumes View)

It is strange that VVV is so slow, but I never tried it with a file that is so large.
About possible causes:
1) Firebird is not likely to be the culprit. It is an enterprise-ready database that can handle gigabyte databases without problems.
2) It is possible that queries are not optimal.

Keep in mind that a "containing" search cannot use indexes, so the database is forced to read all the records. This can slow down things, but I don't think so much.

Are you using Linux, OS X or Windows?
Are you using the last VVV version (1.0)?

If it is not a problem, may you send me your .vvv file (zipped) so that I can test it directly?
