Query optimization for Next.js build with Sanity.io

Hey y’all. A little panicked about our Sanity requests timing out during Next.js build.
I have this query


*[
        _type == "trip" &&
        contentSv->slug.current == "royal-national-hotel"
      ] {
        _id,
      }[0]
Normally it has more fields in it, but I would like to know if it’s possible to speed this query up in any way?
We need to fetch by slug, we can’t use the _id in Sanity.

There’s about 4000 entries like this.

Good to know is that contentSv is a
tripContent
entry, and it has a one-to-one relationship with the
trip
type

OK, I think I found a way to speed it up.

*[
        _type == "tripContent" &&
        slug.current == "royal-national-hotel"
      ] {
        _id,
        ...(*[references(^._id)][0] {
          // what I need from the parent
        })
      }[0]

OK, this reduced the query to run in milliseconds.

*[
        _type == "tripContent" &&
        slug.current == "royal-national-hotel" &&
        count(*[_type == "trip" && contentSv._ref == ^._id]) > 0
      ] {
        ...(*[_type == "trip" && contentSv._ref == ^._id][0] {
          _id,
          "headline": ^.headline,
          "description": ^.description,
          "salesPitch": ^.salesPitch,
          // ... other stuff
        })
      }
