You solve it by letting the category be labeled "Process/thread
architecture", and letting the columns say "Thread-based" for Firebird
and "Process-based" for PostgreSQL respectively.

Then add a footnote about this row that explains the difference and
how they behave on the different operating systems.

PostgreSQL clearly is at a slight disadvantage on Windows, so this is
relevant, at least to Tony's Delphi-user demographic.
