We don't need the select_related('user_profile')
optimization any more, because we just keep
track of user info in our own data structures.
In this codepath we are never actually modifying
users; we just occasionally need their ids or
emails.
This can be a pretty substantive improvement if
you are adding a bunch of users to a stream
who each have a bunch of their own subscriptions.
We could also limit the number of full rows in this
query by adding an extra hop to the DB just to
get colors (using values_list), and then only get
full sub info for the streams that we're adding, rather
than getting every single subscription, in full, for each user.
Apart from finding what colors the user has already
used, the only other reason we need all the columns
in Subscription here is to handle streams that
need to be reactivated. Otherwise we could do
only("id", "active", "recipient_id", "user_profile_id")
or similar. Fortunately, Subscription isn't
an overly wide table; it's mostly bool fields.
But by far the biggest thing to avoid is bringing
in all the extra user_profile data.
We have pretty good coverage on query counts here,
so I think this fix is pretty low risk.
