[wp-hackers] Showing posts from multiple WP sites on a single site

[Alex King]

This might be a reasonable way to go if you don't have sufficient 
database access, but if you can query the database(s) directly I'd 
strong advise against this route.

There is a lot of overhead involved in this method:

1. Your page requests the feeds from the other pages (several http 
requests).
2. Each of the other pages may need to do database queries of their 
own, the process and return the data. Each one of these is nearly the 
equivalent of a standard page load.
3. Your page waits while all that data is prepared and returned.
4. Your page gets all that data, then has to parse the XML into PHP 
data structures, then output it to the page.

At least that is how I understand this suggestion, I could be off base.
