I have a baby level understanding of databases but I imagine it’s a few additional joins on the majority of queries on the site. The single feature would then cause some slowdown for many different processes. Bandwidth for downloading the content can be scaled more easily than scaling the number of DB hits. Not a sysadmin though, just a measly developer so I’m sure someone else can explain it better.
