You know that questions like that are rather meaningless, right?
Performance of a database system depends, among others, on:

- the hardware used
- the database configuration
- the kind of workload

If you want an answer that is of any worth for you, you should create
a test scenario that matches your environment and see for yourself.

That said, all I can tell you that we did a simple performance test in
2005 or 2006 and found that the difference was (in our case) not that
great.

INSERTs performed very fast on Firebird, while UPDATEs and DELETEs were
quite slow.

Yours,
