Feature request: alt data storage method for significant performance increase

[thecolumbian]

Hello friends at Modern Tribe; I have a recommendation for you. An absolute killer way to speed up how fast your plugin runs in a WordPress site: move the data out from the WordPress post meta and store it in dedicated database tables instead.

Woocommerce just did this and I think all plugin developers who potentially have a lot of data to store should, too:

WooCommerce Custom Product Tables Plugin Now in Beta, Boasts 30% Faster Page Loads

They’re claiming a 30% boost but I ran some tests after migrating test data on a development site with your plugins and I easily got even better performance increase benchmarks! This is a really good idea that you guys would greatly benefit from implementing because the more events that are stored using the current method results with the more bogged down a site becomes. In our case, our events site has become unbearably slow and has to be corrected with a lot of caching and other means to make the site even usable.

This alternative data storage method would make everyone’s sites so much faster and I ask if you guys would consider following in WooCommerce’s steps for the easy major performance improvement? Thanks for all the great work you guys do; it really is so highly appreciated and I hope I can give back to you by recommending something that would severely improve the quality of your product even more than it already is!!
