I have heard of photographers having issues with speed & stability but I am happy to report that I have never suffer such problems.
I find the latest version 3.3 faster especially on import. I have just completed a shoot yesterday and had to Edit 1800 raw images with no performance issues at all.
Joeseph at aperture expert did a comparison test between aperture, lightroom and photo mechanics. You may find the results interesting.

With due respect, Mark is NOT a professional photographer, he’s a freelance writer with a camera.

A couple of years ago I downloaded version 2 of Aperture and Lightroom and loaded the same wedding shoot on each. What a calamity. Aperture was so slow, so unusable, so horribly inadequate that I immediately bought Lightroom and didn’t look back.
How is it possible for Adobe to create an app that flies when Apple cannot???

Foolishly though I bought Aperture 3.3 on a whim from the App Store and I thought I’d give it another try.
My opinion in one sentence:
Apple is NOT, repeat ***NOT*** serious about this program in any way shape or form.

For Mark and the millions of shutterbugs out there it may suffice, particularly for the price, but as a professional tool it’s hopeless.
If your camera pays your mortgage, feel free to critique my assessment.
