Revisions significantly bloat the size of the primary table (wp_posts) and secondary meta tables. Because WordPress's database architecture is hilariously simple and under-engineered, that bloat ends up slowing down every query. So, to keep WordPress performant, you either need to regular prune wp_posts, or you need a continually beefier database instance to handle the installation. Sane DevOps teams just limit revisions to something like "last 5" to keep things under control. |
