Shadow.pm v. 1.23 slower than 1.22

Hello,

The Shadow.pm 1.23 works fine, allows us to select different columns
in products and specs.txt, except is slower than v 1.22.

On my machine, http://localhost/cgi-bin/znanie:

Click on Home button

with ru_RU locale      with en_US locale            with 1.22 ru_RU
7 secs                    4 sec                            1 sec

Search on sku
with ru_RU locale      with en_US locale            with 1.22 ru_RU

16 sec                    7 sec                            2 sec

We have a mysql products table with about 5000 items and 4 specs for
each one in the specs.txt.

Is this supposed to be this way? Would it be faster if we used text
only database?


Thanks.
