 * I have got a problem using meta_query.
    For some reasons WordPress makes my machine
   crash when dealing with more than 8 meta_query.
 * To make things clear, this is my meta_query variable :
 *     ```
       Array
       (
           [relation] => AND
           [0] => Array
               (
                   [key] => price
                   [value] => Array
                       (
                           [0] => 0
                           [1] => 899
                       )
   
                   [type] => numeric
                   [compare] => BETWEEN
               )

 * It works flawlessly.
 * Here is the WP_Query Variable
 *     ```
       $q = new WP_Query(
       	array(
       		"post_type" => $_GET['type'],
       		"posts_per_page" => 10,
       		"paged" => $_GET["paged"],
       		"meta_query" => $meta,
       	)
       );
       ```
   
 * Any idea what caused this ?
 * Thanks
 * I am open to any idea to achieve the same results, even if it has to deal with
   mySQL Query using global $wpdb.
