After stepping through conditional breakpoints and other things, the tag operator is indeed the result of the massive slowdown.
[image: Screenshot 2019-09-25 13.46.38.png] The first line takes a long time to return, about 3 seconds per invocation. The rest of it is fairly quick. There is a source.byTag operation right before it that would be much quicker but I don't know where it comes from or what uses it. I guess that would take some investigating. But this basically means that using the tag operator for any tags which have many tiddlers is basically out of the question. So everyone's basically on the right track it seems.
