- Designed for performance, only minimal data is fetched when interacting with the rating system
- Overrides XF2's rebuild behaviour to instead be incremental rather than count all ratings on a piece of content.
- As MySQL's InnoDB table structure does not feature prefix compression, a content type/id pair is very inefficient space-wise.
- Uses per-content tables which are dynamically managed to store count totals, and automagically links these to the right places for use.
- If a content's table is "too large" to extend (ie when adding a rating type) without downtime, that content has the rating type disabled for it and the required manual SQL for the administrator to run provided.
- "too large " table size threshold is an adjustable, may be to fully automatic or fully manual for adding columns.
