Do you mean association problems as in missing features or as in buggy
behaviour? We use associations in our project and, in general, things work
fine and, after we fixed our algorithms, reasonably fast.

However, we observed sporadic corruptions when we put a lot of objects into
the store. we could not trace the corruptions back to any particular elephant
feature yet; so if you already know a part of the code that is a likely source
of bugs, we'd appreciate if you let us know.

Christoph
