Performance impact

• 1 extra SELECT query per thread page request when the user has more than zero active alerts.
  • If there are alerts to mark as read, then an extra UPDATE is required.

Alert Summarization Performance impact

• On accessing alerts above the summarize threshold, fetches all unread alerts and attempts to group them in PHP.
• On successfully generating summary alerts, 2 queries are done. 1 insert to add the summary alert, 1 updating summarized alerts
