Query performance - suppress 'product' and related fields where products are not in the database
Most people hate the fact we waste an output field on premium on the contribution tab. They all think it should be replaced - but all have different replacements.
I don't want to solve that - I think the right solution for that is to find funding to leap the interface.
What I DO think we can solve is the fact we are doing unnecessary joins / queries / processing to generate & display premiums - regardless of whether the site uses them. I think we could short-circuit that pretty cleanly by just doing a quick "select id FROM civicrm_product_premium LIMIT 1' (cached) before adding product fields to our default return properties (with a small tpl tweak too)
