Comment (by asdator):
The only way to limit this Query (and to not load all the records into
memory) would be to is to do a `top-n-per-group` query which I don't think
the `ORM` is capable of.
What I can suggest is: Instead of limiting the `QuerySet`, find a way to
filter it.
For example, get only the `Posts` in the last day, week or a month (based
on the post-frequency).
{{{
Category.objects.prefetch_related(Prefetch(
'post_set',
queryset=Post.objects.filter(
date_published__gte=datetime.date.today()-timedelta(days=7)),
to_attr='example_posts',
))
}}}
This way you won't load all the Posts into Memory.
