The ReadMe.txt says that 'whose'-queries can produce incorrect results. This
seems to be only the case on the very first request after opening the
database. Instead, FM crashes (sometimes) on about every fifth attempt to
get records via 'whose'. I try to find a pattern for this. In this moment I
can't get it to crash but I had days where it crashed a lot.
I haven't experienced the slowness you've described.
In it's current state FM 5.5 is totally unusable for me. This bug means that
no one can use FM on OS X together with AppleScript. Hard to understand why
they don't fix it. 5.5 was released in November last year...
I continue to try to find a pattern and then i will report this thing. I
think it is good if many people do this, showing demand for a bug fix.
