# Large Value in wp_options, con’t

 * Hello,
 * I found this support entry and have some additional questions: [https://wordpress.org/support/topic/large-value-in-wp_options/](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/large-value-in-wp_options/)
 * I am trying to optimize my databases per some WP Engine suggestions here — [https://wpengine.com/support/database-optimization-best-practices/](https://wpengine.com/support/database-optimization-best-practices/)—
   with one being Autoloaded Data. I found that ws_menu_editor was significantly
   higher in the first site I checked, more than 100,000 more than the next highest
   item. I did check the Debugging option that you suggested in the support topic
   above, however here are my questions:
 * 1) When / how does that number decrease? I made the update and it didn’t change.
   Is there something I need to do to refresh it?
 * 2) I’m a little concerned by the “…but adds decompression overhead to every page”
   note. Does this mean it slows down every page on the site or just the admin side?
   Do you think it is significantly slower? In a quick perusal, things don’t seem
   noticeably slow.

 * It takes effect when you save the menu configuration. You don’t need to make 
   any real changes to the menus, just go to the menu settings page and click the“
   Save Changes” button.

 * Yes, it slows down the page by a little bit. I think the actual slowdown will
   usually be pretty tiny, but I haven’t tested it extensively. It would affect 
   all logged-in users on every page of the site, but probably not anonymous visitors.
