Hi Scott,
I have been experiencing the same issues. We were originally using FindChild with IE and did not see any issues. We then switched to Chrome and tests that took 3mins in IE now take more than 12mins in Chrome. I have tried to talk to support regarding this but I got no resolutions. It seems ExtenedFind is a lot faster to use but it takes a lot more time than to namemap the objects. Support indicated to me that FindChild should be the same speed as extendedfind but the same tests using ExtFind takes 17s and with FC it takes 1m 40s.
I am looking at an ID propert y that our developers have added so I think its an issue with FindChild on any property
Hope it is resolved soon
