----------------------------+-------------------------------------
 There is a significant performance issue in the Query Loop Block of the
 WordPress core that affects page loading times. This issue may impact a
 large number of websites using the Query Loop Block for dynamic content
 display.

 Steps to Reproduce:

 Install a fresh copy of WordPress version 6.0.1.
 Create a new page and add the Query Loop Block.
 Configure the block to display a large number of posts (e.g., 50+ posts).
 Publish the page and attempt to load it in the browser.
 Expected Result:
 The page should load quickly without significant delay, even when
 displaying a large number of posts.

 Actual Result:
 The page takes an unusually long time to load, often exceeding 5-10
 seconds. This is observed across different browsers and environments,
 affecting the user experience.

 Impact:
 This issue is critical for sites relying on the Query Loop Block for
 content display. It can lead to poor user experience, lower SEO rankings
 due to slow page loads, and increased server load.
