 Replying to [comment:30 t31os_]:
 What specific actions would you like me to take t31os? I added the
 get_userdata call in response to feedback from Denis-de-Bernardy in order
 to make use of the caching added to that function. From his earlier
 comment:

 >the author name logic would actually be better handled by mass-querying
 the usermeta table using the functions from miqrogroove in a separate
 ticket.

 Are you suggesting I again remove the calls to get_userdata? I am using
 this patch in the latest version of [http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins
 /list-authors/ my plugin], it is working well, and users are happy with
 the new features. Most importantly, it allows a limit on the number of
 authors listed instead of displaying all 10,000 in the case of large blog.
 For that reason, I think this prolonged discussion of which query is
 fastest is mostly moot. The existing version of wp_list_authors is known
 for using up an enormous amount of memory when displaying large numbers of
 authors. This patch finally allows a user to limit the number of authors
 displayed thereby increasing blog performance.
