[Zope] ZCatalog queries performance

[Sebastian Tänzer]

Thanks for the feedback and help, Tres. 

Let’s say I want to display an accordion with all events of a month displaying quite a lot of data about the event (30-50 events on one page, collapsible jQuery accordion). At the moment I get the results and put the objects into the result set via unrestrictedTraverse using getPath(). Would it be better to only get the path and get the object in the template? Does this make any difference performance wise?

Which data of the event objects would I keep as ZCatalog meta columns and which not? Documentation is not really helpful on this.

The tricky part is that events are linked with different locations (event location, selling points) that are not children of the event object but objects in a different folder. The event object itself only keeps the links to these location objects and I get them when iterating over the result set in the template.

Any advice what would be the best way for this performance-wise?
Is it okay to get the object itself via traversal? Is there a faster way to get the object data?
