When calling row_array() you would expect that only the first row is queried and returned from the resultset.
On the contrary: the whole result_array() is pulled and then from that whole array the single row is returned.

With larger datasets there is no point to use row_array right now.
row_array needs to be rewritten and performance needs to be taken into account.
