Hi Mihai,

Thanks for the link to the thread. Expect to see us on that thread in the next couple of days.

Great news that it will be rolled into WordPress 2.9. Optimisation should keep happening. Good catch.

There is already a ticket opened for the bug after I reported this: http://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/10852 . Seems like it’s going to be included in wp 2.9

Hi Mihai,

Thanks for stopping by. Loved your sleuthing on the issues with large static sites with lots of pages (we build CMS not weblogs) in WordPress.

We will get on that bug as well. I’d like to see it fixed and we can repair the code too. We’ll look at your fix and then let’s put together a campaign to get this fixed in the next version. It’s really inexcusable. Slow page loads in the page manager really are a nuisance for our own editing as well.

No excuses that this bug has been out there so long.

Bad, bad Automattic. Matt Mullenweg what are you thinking of?

I had no idea the Download Monitor plugin does so many queries. I have it installed on my blog for such a long time and I didn’t notice any performance issues. I didn’t test either :)
I like the plugin a lot. … hmm I should find some time to test it and fix this one too :)

[...] 4-5. A quick google search for this code however did lead me to a page that was explaining how to Keep WordPress overhead down. Through there, I realized that those seconds were some sort of CPU time taken to draw those [...]

Great post, especially the piece of code to help you find out how many queries are being made.

I have to admit I’m a little lazy when it comes to things like this. I pretty much go by the “if it works don’t fix it” idea. This is a nice quick way to see if there is a problem before the site breaks.

Hi Alec,

Thanks for reminding me of my post on the LinkLove plugin.

I’ve updated the article now to mention the resource usage, and how I’ve since uninstalled the plugin.

You’re right. I should’ve done that as soon as I discovered the issue.

All the best.
