I use both of the databases (Interbase 6.01 and PostgreSQL 7.1beta4).
PostgreSQL has more features comapared to Interbase (the procedureal language
is very robust and there are many datatyps to choose from. Also you can have
some kind of object support in it to inherit tables for example), but it's
windows implemenation is very hard (at least for me, I like to compile it).
As for speed both are very fast (even when compared to commerical DB, in my
tests the deafult install of Interbase outperfomed the default install of
Oracle 8i about 10X, tested on P166 with 96MB and PII400 with 192MB).
