 > Or we can just block all large options from autoloading

 Ummm, that would be a huge performance loss for options that are used
 often. The additional trip to the DB may be hundreds of times slower.

 Already mentioned this on the PR, thinking this would need a good amount
 of performance testing with different scenarios:, mostly what happens when
 autoload is turned off for big option that is used on every page load,m or
 on every second page load, etc.
