I do have a test setup and 3.4.5RC2 works well with my dataset (I have
tested it with an hourly snapshot of the db).  I'm more concerned about
when the RC will become release, as I want to leave it once it's in.

I'm not convinced.  In 3.2.2 it takes 12 seconds to draw the 'people'
dropdown on our system (several million tickets).  Under 3.4.4 it takes
1m48s.  Moving to .5RC2 it is almost instant.

I'm just trying to find out when .5 will be release.

One thing about the past.
It's likely to last.
