Mark, you may have answered why it is my Forms Generator app is running so slow 
on Windows. I don’t use transactions and I make multiple queries for most 
transactions.

Fortunately I have Time Machine running on my mac.
I have gone back to a previous copy from the 01 April 2020 and this

I have made no modifications to the underlying functionality of this

scripts to improve performance.
I will make those adjustments again and report on the outcome.
I do not believe it’s anything I have done.

I'd humbly  suggest that modifications to SQLite scripts constitute 
modifications ;)

Have you modified the SQLite database in any way?

Like most db's SQLite is heavily dependent on indices to prevent operations 
being slow - if some have been removed which existing queries relied upon, or 
one hasn't been added to support a new/modified query then that could cause a 
heavy performance loss.

Similarly, SQLite is transactional, so if you do lots of mutation queries 
outside of one each individual query will take a lot longer (as each will be 
under its own transaction requiring a OS disk flush/sync after each) - if 
you've tweaked how you are doing such queries and not taken into account 
transactions that could also cause a heavy performance loss.

Warmest Regards,

Mark.
