We are using version 3.5 for years without problems, but it seems that an upgrade can result in performance improvement.
Question is when is 5.0 released and should we wait for that?
We need an upgrade of 3 licenses and it is not easy to get the money (Bureaucracy)
v5 is released likely at the end of this month/early next month.
As always we have the policy that if you buy during the beta period we offer a free upgrade to the newest version, and with v5 we do the same. We haven't advertised it yet as we didn't know how long the beta period would last (as we needed to migrate the large set of documentation to a new format and it was unclear how long that would take).
So you can upgrade now and you'll see free v5 licenses when v5 is released.
yes the performance improvement is significant. We managed to improve v5's non-changetracking projection fetches (linq/queryspec) a lot too over v4's and we're now faster than e.g. dapper.
