I'm at the point from my experience to support Stan's comments 100%.
I have experience continuous problems with the MI since its implementation.
The problems started pre-1.0 and have continued through every release
including 5.0.
 
The performance issues described by Stan are very real and easily proven.
The busier the system (when you need more capacity) the more it cost you
to execute products that use the MI.
