 * Does your Single Metadata functionality use a custom database table or store 
   an array of values under one meta field?
 * If it’s the second option, can you say which is generally better optimized for
   speed: metadata stored in a custom table or using your Single Metadata option?

 * Hello,
 * Thanks for the feedback!
 * The [Single Meta](https://www.acf-extended.com/features/modules/single-meta) 
   feature use the same post/user/term meta table as in the native WordPress/ACF
   logic.
 * You can see an example of how the data is stored on the documentation, or using
   the [Developer Mode](https://www.acf-extended.com/features/modules/developer-mode)(
   which will show you any post/user/term meta).
 * The Single Meta feature use the same meta table for compatibility reasons, to
   make sure it works with any third party plugin or custom code.
 * Hope it helps!
 * Have a nice day!
 * Regards.
