 wp_list_authors() makes multiple queries per registered user.  For
 example, if a blog has 50 registered users, wp_list_authors() will make
 over 100 queries, even if there are only a few users who can write posts.

 Alexander Concha developed the attached patch which does it all with only
 one query total (two if "show_fullname" is enabled).  However, he
 questions if this change belongs in the WP core.  I think it does because
 it's such a vast improvement over the current extremely inefficient code.
