A short while ago, I asked a fairly lengthy question regarding a content filter for my website. The post can be found here, please feel free to have a read at your own leisure.
I've accepted @DampeS8N 's answer because he answered well and sent me in the right direction.
Unfortunately, the outcome of said question was that the content filter I'm using is simply too inefficient to run in the context of my application.
Here's the information:
* A glossary entry can be found here.
An example list of glossary entries may be,
caudal fin,dorsal,filter, etc.
** A species profile can be found here.
An example list of species may be,
Apistogramma panduro,A. panduro,Dario dario,D. dario,Betta sp. 'Maha Chai'etc.
Here's the problem:
wp_posts table, then additional information stored in the wp_postmeta table.meta fields, which are entries into the wp_postmeta table. This can be seen below.

My problem is this: the filter I'm running at the moment, the details of which can be found in the first linked post, or directly here for my filter.php file, simply isn't efficient enough to work with this many database fields and this much information.
The filter did work when I first started using our new WordPress-driven CMS, as I ran it on a localhost WAMP install when I imported the data. It took nearly 40 minutes to run through all of the data.
My tl;dr question is this: how can I go about creating an efficient content filter, considering the quantity of data and number of database fields?
720
wp_postmeta (meta_id, post_id, meta_key, meta_value)
wp_glossary (glossary_id, glossary_key, glossary_value)
wp_relation (meta_id, glossary_id)
wp_relation stores relation between wp_glossary and wp_postmeta. The following is example of a wp_postmeta's entry:
Maintenance
Tank should be well planted with floating plants also used. An abundance of hiding places should be provided as this species likes to hide away during the day. Bogwood, rock caves and PVC piping are all suitable for this purpose. Sand should be used as substrate as the spiny eels often like to bury themselves. Dimmer lighting will encourage the fish to venture from its hiding places more often. A close-fitting hood is required as the eel can find its way through the smallest of gaps. Water flow should be fairly gentle as the fish mainly inhabits areas of still water in the wild.
The following is example of wp_glossary's entries
glossary_id | glossary_key | glossary_value
101 tank ......
102 species ......
103 bogwood ......
104 sand ......
105 substrate ......
The following is example of how wp_relation hold the relation of glossary and postmeta. Assuming the above postmeta's id is 405
glossary_id | meta_id
101 405
102 405
103 405
104 405
105 405
Once you can maintain above database structure, you can easily construct glossary link for each wp_postmeta by searching id of wp_postmeta's entry in wp_relation. Then, using str_replace to fill link to your content.
To increase performance, you can cache the result content in HTML. Set expire of cache to 1 or 2 days (depend on how often you update your glossary and your site traffic). You can use memcached, file or database to store your cache.
The most difficult task is maintain our database relationship. There are two major actions that alter the database relationship.
Add/Edit Postmeta: Reconstruct relation between glossary and its content. Below is algorithm that can be used to construct relation. I believe there are other better ways to do it. The code is not complete (I haven't tested it yet), but it is enough for you to understand the algorithm.

Remove Postmeta : Remove relation between this postmeta and glossary.
Lets say that you to find which species profile that use glossary "bogwood". You can easily track it via wp_relation.
1. Firstly, how will a str_replace affect my species profiles which have existing code in them, i.e. a href or img code?
It does not affect your species profiles if there is no a link to glossary and species name.
2. Secondly, you've mentioned the glossary entries but not the slightly more complex species genus/species names. Would I use a separate table for those, or incorporate it all into one?
You can have separate table to store relation between species name and postmeta or you can simply treat species names as glossary term with special flag (which need to change how glossary is structured)
3. How would I then specify the difference (different class in the a tag) between glossary entries and species profiles?
Answered is depended on which method you use for your second questions.
