I have also used TS5.0 and found it to be greatly improved over TS4.0. Sure
the user interface is a bit different than TS4.0, but I found it relatively
easy to pick up. TS5.0 is packed with new features which will take some
getting used too. As with any new program which has new features, it takes a
while to adapt to them.

The beta version is not optimized for speed. It's a natural part of the
development process where the beta is not optimized for speed but rather for
debugging and development info.

My understanding is the data conversion will be included with the TS5.0
release, just not the beta version.
Overall, TS5.0 will blow away TS4.0 in features and performance. We just
need to patiently wait for its release.
