The key motivation is that Roam relation queries are asynchronous with a cache, while Obsidian reads relations synchronously, making repeated JSON relation reads too expensive across many wiki links. It discusses a Discourse Context Panel workaround that runs once per file open, but notes that pages with many notes can lead to O(N x M) behavior. To address this, the team builds a relation index mapping relations like A to B and C to A, so lookup time becomes about 01 and JSON parsing happens only once.
