Get array of posts without content from WP_Query

Question

I use following code to get list of posts

$the_query = new WP_Query($args);
while ($the_query->have_posts()) {
    $the_query->the_post();
    //work with post
}

in this case I get the content and other stuff for each post in the array. But I don't need content, it can be rather big. Can I exclude content from the result array to improve performance?

Try wpdb to fetch data. visit: http://codex.wordpress.org/Class_Reference/wpdb

May this help.
