Hi Paul,
Declaring FKs in the Object Mapper will not cause problems even if the FKs are not set in the DB. (In fact, if you don't create the FK for the association, it won't compile)
You mentioned you noticed performance decrease when querying.
What kind of query are you experiencing this performance decrease with?
How significant is the performance loss?
Silvio.
