Why does "Full Text Search" take a lot of time in SDL MultiTerm 2019 - 15.0.1.43891?

Question

SDL MultiTerm 2019 - 15.0.1.43891 has been taken a lot of time when using "Full Text Search" (Hierarchical or Parallel or Sequential Mode), showing the Windows' rotating ring, and then it is shown "not-responding". 
 
 The Termbase file (Source Language: English-USA - Target Language: Portuguese-Brazil) has been reorganized several times per day (and it does not show any defective entry or empty entry), and the Termbase file is installed locally (on my internal hard drive C:), i.e. in c:\Users\renato\Documentos\SDL\SDL MultiTerm\Termbases\ [the same drive c: where SDL MultiTerm 2019 Desktop is installed ("C:\Program Files (x86)\SDL\SDL MultiTerm\MultiTerm15\MultiTerm.exe") in Windows 10 Pro 64 bit. 
 
 The SDL MultiTerm 2019 - 15.0.1.43891 was uninstalled, and reinstalled again, correctly, using the "SDL MultiTerm 2019 CU1 Desktop Installer" file, that was downloaded from the site oos.sdl.com/.../mydownloads.asp 
 
 Is it a defect from SDL MultiTerm 2019 - 15.0.1.43891 ?

Dear Paul Filkin 
 Thank you very much for your helping. The problem was solved as explained below. 
 I repaired my RENATOCR_Patent Termbase_ENG-US_PORT-BR.sdltb file (99,811,328 bytes, date: December 20, 2018) by producing a New Termbase based on the "RENATOCR_Patent Termbase_ENG-US_PORT-BR_2019.xml" and "RENATOCR_Patent Termbase_ENG-US_PORT-BR_2019.log" files, using Termbase Management Export and Import, and the software EditPad Pro 7 in order to find and replace wrong items on the "RENATOCR_Patent Termbase_ENG-US_PORT-BR_2019.xml" file, before the production of the New Termbase. 
 Now the "Full Text Search", using the New Repaired Termbase file, in MultiTerm 2019, is working correctly. 
 Again, thank you very much for your kind attention! 
 Best regards.

Hi Renato Colonna Rosman 
 
I just tested this in 2019 and 2017 using a termbase with 60K entries and the performance seemed around the same in both. Can you provide any more information to help with your problem? 
 
- what are you comparing it with? 
- how large is your termbase? 
- how complex is the definition? 
- how many langauges? 
- can you share the termbase?
