It will be slow only if you use "old school" extensions which does not
provide the searchFields setting. If you want "speed", you upgrade your
extensions to fit the scheme. This is backwards compatible and enforces
people to write a proper searchFields setup for their tables.

If the third party extensions don't provide these, one could also create
an extension that just adds proper searchFields part to the TCA from a
central point (looping through all extensions).

Else you end up with not finding records you used to find before, after
a "minor update" of TYPO3 4.5, which is installed automatically for most
customers.

Has been answered by the fellow git enthusiasts already. ;)
