Hi Team! I’m evaluating whether to use flat documents vs. reference (joined) documents in Typesense for an

asset

collection that references multiple other collections like

location

,

group

,

manufacturer

, and

label

. I understand that

include_fields

with

reference

is useful for enriching search results, but I'm trying to estimate the search performance impact when referencing multiple documents. If a flat asset document takes X ms to search, how much additional latency is typically introduced per reference join? For example, if I reference 3–4 collections, what kind of search latency increase (roughly) should I expect compared to a single flat collection? Additionally, is there a recommended upper limit on the number of referenced documents per collection before it starts to noticeably degrade search performance? Thanks in advance for your insights!
