Currently the rating value coming from the rating application is stored
on the message it belongs to. However storing it is not necessary as
there is no direct search using it. Having a computed field is sufficient
for all use cases we currently have in Odoo.
Removing the store allow to gain queries. Indeed the field is not
computed anymore after each message creation meaning we save queries
by not having to check existing ratings. It allows to gain a lot of
computation as mail.message is a critical model.
On the whole community runbot when installing all modules this leads to
a gain of more than 14K queries on 585K which means 2.4% of performances
increase. Considering the code size of this optimization this is quite an
interesting result.
Looking at test_mail performance tests we gain several queries (2/3) for
each new message which is coherent with the model change.
Finally it allows to lessen the performance difference between tests done
with test mail only and tests done with other modules already installed.
This is especially simple mail thread-enable records.
