 Replying to [comment:31 ryan]:

 we add a short circuit.

 Yes, so it would still run WP twice on each page load. Seems [comment:8
 revmj] and [comment:15 westi] have the right solution: add another rule to
 htaccess to redirect requests for `/favicon.ico` to `wp-
 includes/images/favicon.ico` when the file doesn't exist.

 Of course this will have to go at the bottom of htaccess so if there's
 already a redirect for `favicon`, we don't override it.
