How do I prevent views from being logged and continuously updating wp_ap_qameta?

I figured out one of the major query cache problems.  The reason why the query cache doesn’t work with many of these expensive slow queries is because the views are being updated constantly and breaking the query cache with Update statements on recording the views.  I see hundreds of updates like this.

UPDATE `wp_ap_qameta` SET `ptype` = ‘question’, `views` = 1 WHERE `post_id` = 10153

Can I just prevent the views from being updated with a hook and how do I do that?

Otherwise all these slow queries keep missing the cache.
