Comment (by svrooij):

 Implementing this would render my plugin obsolete, but I’m glad that there
 is some attention to this in the core. As a plugin developer it wasn’t
 easy to implement filtering fields that would be queried from the
 database.

 But I still think that there could be a speed improvement if for instance
 the_content where not the be retrieved from the database (or properly
 rendered).
 Is there anything I can help with? Or do you need some input on something?
