Comment (by iandunn):

 I looked through all the times sticky_posts is pulled from the DB, and
 couldn't reproduce any other speed issues in those areas, so it seems like
 get_posts() was the only spot that triggered the problem.

 The array_slice() call that the patch adds to get_posts() is in a
 condition that only runs on the home page, so I can't think of any side
 effects outside of the query that the patch targets, and haven't run
 across any in testing.

 So, I think the patch is ready unless anyone can think of something I've
 missed.
