[wp-hackers] New Codex page on WordPress Optimization

[Charles Iliya Krempeaux]

Hello,

You know... one thing that would be nice is if filters and action
hooks could pass along "freshness" data.

That way you could use for caching strategies.


So say for example... let's say you have a filter called 'the_label'.
And you call...

$label = apply_filters('the_label', $x);

And let's say $x has been the same since "2007-08-24 @ 11:02am".

Well... if there are no filters being applied, then $label should have
that same "freshness" date as $x.

However... if there are other filters... then they'd want to modified
that freshness data.

Let's say there is only one filter... and that filter is
"mathematically functional... i.e., it returns the exact same output
for the same input.

Then if you want to change the "freshness" date (of $label) to the max
of the "freshness"  date of $x and the activation date of the plugin
that filter is a part of.


This type of thing would be very useful in scaling.  (Especially for
people running big WordPress MU installs.)


See ya
