Comment:

 > It would be nice to have some API to cache certain options between
 requests. I have a bunch of settings in themes and plugins that are not
 set (and I will probably never set/enable them) that are causing my system
 to make about 20 unnecessary database queries on every page load. When you
 add it all up, I end up with circa 500 MySQL requests per second.

 This is the purpose of a persistent object cache, like APC, Memcached, or
 Redis. Here's some background on using APC with WordPress:

 wordpress/

 Based on this discussion, I'm going to mark this as wontfix. Maybe at some
 point in the future we can talk about augmenting our key-value stores with
 information about data types, which would make it possible to do strict
 type checks in our options functions.
