[wp-hackers] RE: slow posting..

[Donncha O Caoimh]

Adding enclosures to posts shouldn't slow things down much - I issue a 
HEAD request for the linked media file and close the connection after I 
receive two carriage returns. That way it doesn't matter if keep alives 
are on or not. We could do the same with the 
discover_pingback_server_uri function perhaps? I haven't looked at that 
code yet but it seems like a good bet for speeding things up!

Donncha.
