David,
PB5 is no longer sold or supported, but you may be able to find a used
copy around somewhere.
I've developed with PB since version 3, and the performance problem you
describe doesn't sound quite right. Are you certain it's not some kind
of configuration problem? Perhaps a debugging switch was left on, or the
library path is messed up, or maybe something with the database profile
or the network connection?
During the many PB conversions I've done over the years, I've never
noticed that much speed difference between versions. I'd first check all
the settings and do a full rebuild during the compile. If that doesn't
help, you may want to put a trace log on the database or do some other
profiling to see where PB is spending all its time.
