 * Hi, I have performance issues on my Woocommerce website. I extended the Woocommerce
   products with a few simple pods fields. But when I list the products in de backend(
   500 of 6000) it takes about 18 seconds. When I turn of pods this is reduced to
   8 seconds. So Pods is adding an extra 10 seconds.
    This is what I discovered 
   after some complaints about the overall performance of the website. So my questions
   is: is this normal?

 * I have some fixes in Pods 2.8.6 that improve performance here but to totally 
   bypass meta filtering by Pods you can define the constant `PODS_ALLOW_FULL_META`
   as true in your wp-config.php

 * Thanks Scott! So after the release of 2.8.6 (or 2.8.7 now) this problem is gone
   right?

 * Yes, this should be greatly improved and in Pods 2.8.8 I’ve taken it a step further
   too.
