<div><br></div> Greg,<div><br></div><div> Can you check 5.1.1 instead? There was a problem in 5.1.0 that caused indexes to be disabled in certain situations and also a bug on "exists". In general, we had the opposite feedback: reduction of memory usage and performance increase due to reduced GC overhead.</div>

I've attached a sample project that tests the performance of matching nested objects. (ANd compares direct reference matching and the performance pitfalls of "from," but that's beside the current point.)<div>
