Yeah, I know what you mean. Unfortunately, once I launched GamersWithJobs.com with Drupal, I began to realize that with our large number of nodes (18k+), lots of dynamic content and lots of user posts that the node based permissions system with Drupal wasn't going to cut it performance wise. I've basically had to rip out the base node_access stuff and hardcode it to just use taxonomy_access, and even at that I've had to hardcode tids in performance sensitive areas such as Active Forum Topics and the Tracker. So at this point, for my codebase, taxonomy_access is useless and I just don't have to time nor inclination to work on it. Hopefully at some point somebody will rewrite Drupal's access permissions system to work with much less of a performance hit, though this may have already been done, I haven't been keeping up with CVS lately (we're on 4.6.3). In the meantime, I hope keve can rewrite taxonomy_access into something a little more useful. Pyroman[FO] Karoly Negyesi wrote:

User keve has asked to take over the taxonomy_access module, since I don't have time to maintain it. Can an admin transfer it to him?

Tell keve please to rework taxonomy access, if possible to not patch 4.7 core. I will help him in every possible way re. db_rewrite_sql.

I also was thinking on stepping up as a maintainer but, to tell you frankly, I am very happy that I does not need to.
