I just installed the wp-authors plugin, and the number of database queries
to generate an HTML page went from 23 to 117(!), and the time required
increased by a full 1/10th second, a 40% increase.
I have 50 users registered on my blog, but only 10 of them are
authors/editors/admins. It seems that wp_list_authors() is doing two
queries per user, even if they cannot write posts.
Is there any way to reduce the number of queries? At worst case, shouldn't
it be doing one query to get a list of users, then one query per user to
count the posts? That should be 51 extra queries not 94! Also, if I could
have it only check users who can actually write posts, that would be
perfect.
