 [http://codex.wordpress.org/Translating_WordPress Here] you say that the
 GNU gettext-Framework is used. Exactly, "pomo" (file: wp-
 includes/l10n.php) is a complete own php-implementation of the gettext-
 program.

 I've added a patch to solve this problem. Maybe it is not very good, but
 it works. On my wordpress-sites, the used php-memory returns from about
 65% to about 12% and the site is running much faster when patching wp-
 includes/l10n.php.

 I know that gettext is not available on every wordpress-installation, but
 when it's available, it should be used.

 Sorry for my bad english, I'm german.
