Performance - Joomla! 4.x • We have a news backend with few thousand articles, the workflow leads to slow loading times...

Hi we have multiple news portals and our ppl are complaining that the backend is so slow (2s load times). I took a look at it and found that the INNER JOIN leads to a temporary table with 22k entries for our smallest portal.

With INNER JOIN 500ms, LEFT JOIN its 1.5ms. In bigger portals that up to 5s and makes it quite unusable. Not sure if the DB is missing an index, i tried to optimize, but for now ill change that behaviour
