[wp-hackers] Database padded with junk content

[Otto]

Yeah, but if you turn them off and then manually delete those rss_*
bits, then they won't come back unless you turn them on again.

Meh. I think it might be more worthwhile to cache the rss feeds in the
uploads directory somewhere, as files. Prevents having to transfer all
that data out of the DB every time.
