I do not have performance numbers for Firebird 2.0, but Firebird 1.5 has 
approx. 25-40% better performance when connecting to local server via local 
protocol compared to the local TCP connection with AS3AP suite (embedded 
gives with JayBird approx 2x better performance compared to local TCP 
connection). So I think it would be wrong to drop the true local protocol.
