Not from a first-hand experience, but I can tell you about Gal,
who is my brother-in-law, and for whom I did most of the conf
work regarding pilot-db. He uses it daily as a todo-list, much
wider (in num of cols) than the builtin one and with quite many
filters. It was quite slow on an m130, but a few months ago he
moved to a tungsten T and he is happy with it. He has around
500 open tasks, and it's quite fast.
His main problem(s) is Hebrew-support related, and does not
happen on normal English work. It still might be a bug (maybe
more than one) in pilot-db, but I did not have time yet to look
at it.
As far as I know, he never lost data, for around 1.5 years now.
But I do push him to backup his data daily, just in case, and
also recommend that to you.

Good luck,
