[wp-hackers] getting post counts for multiple tags

[Dion Hulse (dd32)]

In order to do that, you'd have to make a new WP_Query, query for the
tag intersections, probably limit it to 1 post, and look at the total
count it returns. You could save memory/query time by only asking for
the ids of the posts too.
You'd want to store the counts in a cache somehow, a transient would
probably suit best.

Of course, that's just my suggestion without resolving to using custom SQL.
