@ -821,6 +821,12 @@ referenced is needed, rather than one query for all the items. There could be
additional queries on the ``ContentType`` table if the relevant rows have not
already been fetched.
``prefetch_related`` in most cases will be implemented using a SQL query that
uses the 'IN' operator. This means that for a large QuerySet a large 'IN' clause
could be generated, which, depending on the database, might have performance
problems of its own when it comes to parsing or executing the SQL query. Always
profile for your use case!
