33 | | It is hard to decide whether we need this without measuring. First we need to measure whether or how a bloated or very bloated database affects performance of meta queries. Second we need to measure how certain solutions and JSON serialization and unserialization affects performance. Maybe we don't need this at all, maybe the queries are faster with JSON, but the unserialization is a lot slower than PHP, I am not sure. I am not an expert of PHP + MySQL benchmarking, so we need somebody here, who can measure this. |

Not to mention that the last possible solution is not backward compatible, so it would be a big change. |
