Comment (by jeremyfelt):

 The `current_user_can()` check makes sense. Having a single query would be
 a benefit for many authenticated subscriber page views. I'd agree that
 benchmarks would be nice to see to help quantify.

 The edge cases I'm imagining are very edgy. I could see trying something
 funky with a custom post type, subscribers or a custom role, and
 `post_author` that also relies on the private flag, but then you're pretty
 far out there. I wouldn't be too concerned with the impact on default
 posts, site members, and roles.
