@ocean90 Can you confirm that this does remove queries.

Post meta is loaded. As this post is converted to an array, that loads post meta.

@spacedmonkey I haven't verified it on a clean install but I got one less term query on a client site. Will check again later, this was just for verifying if there are failing tests.

Though, it makes no sense to convert the post to an array. 😞 Only post_content and ID fields are actually used.

I agree. How about manually converting this to an array. So

$user_cpt = array(
  'ID' => $post->ID, 
  'post_content' => $post->post_content,
);

This is a private method, so it is a little easier to change.

@ocean90 This code is from gutenberg, it might be better to do this work in the gutenberg repo and it will be backported.

Thanks, created WordPress/gutenberg#45978 as a starting point.

I have my own PR here - WordPress/gutenberg#46043
