As you said, I do have other criteria but they are not strong enough to support that route. Basically, on the size of the messages table, it would simply bring the server at a crawling level. For now, what we have will remain as is. Maybe in the next version, they will optimize that so we can get something more into Google like, which seems to be a new standard now and adopted at a few locations.
