Fresh from two weeks of holidays in beautiful Lanzarote, I tried to tackle the WP pages problem I outlined in my previous post. The result is a 150 lines patch for
wp-admin/edit-pages.php
, which brings rendering time down from 18 seconds to less than 1 second in my test blog with 200 pages. The patch is also available as a drop-in php file, but remember to backup the original WP file in case you run into problems later.
