Unless proven false by a more scientific test than mine.
I'd like to hear more informed opinions on this.
I noticed a performance difference between 1 vs more index but
mainly I've chosen 1 index because it made all the code simpler and
did suit to my needs. So I didn't dig further in "could I make the
other way faster?".
There is one limit (with its implication): you've a limited number
of weight (ABCD).
