I would definitely encourage you to look at the other thread and
to participate in its discussion. One of the bottlenecks of the
proposed patch is that we were still discussing how the normalization
tables should be shaped to make the operations faster. Perhaps what
you have in mind could be applied on top of what the other approaches
are implementing, but it's hard to tell without a patch. Duplicating
discussions for the same matter feels useless to me, because the goal
is the same: we want to make the normalizations faster, let's decide
one design that fits best.
