I'm struggling to weigh the cost of getObject() vs. the cost of adding more metadata to the catalog. I'll explain my situation.

I have 10,000 widgets cataloged. I do a path and date query that returns me maybe 12 of these. Then I have a choice of calling getObject().getData() on each of these, or I could add getData to the catalog metadata.

Does the cost of calling getObject() for a dozen objects justify creating a new metadata field?

More generally how does a large amount of metadata in the catalog affect performance of queries?

The wisdom of those more knowledgeable than me would be appreciated.
