[wp-hackers] Re: Changing MySQL minimum version

[David Chait]

That said, let's not loose sight that maybe something like 
wp-cache/Staticize needs to be adopted into the core (even if it's as a 
plugin still).  Nothing beats the performance of fully-static HTML, but 
mostly-static php can get close. ;)

Maybe that should branch off into another thread... ;)
