I must admit it’s been a while ago when we were working on these optimizations. If you are interested to dig deeper, the Path.size function could be a good entry point [1]. > Any workaround aside reimporting the database stripping the namespace > information? Stripping namespace (via STRIPNS [2]) would surely be an option. > And now the request.

It would take me quite some time to get this all documented, but let’s see what I can do.
