Comment (by ronnieg):

 I unregistered the WP default Pages widget with:

 function unregister_default_widgets() {
 unregister_widget('WP_Widget_Pages'); }
 add_action('widgets_init', 'unregister_default_widgets', 11);

 As I wanted and expected, the Pages widget is no longer in the Available
 Widgets list. However, the functions that get the full list of all pages
 are still running, and the page takes 45 seconds to load now that the page
 load timeout has been relaxed. Shouldn't the logic that initiates this
 process confirm that the Pages widget, the one it is supposedly doing all
 of this for, is still registered? Is this a separate bug that needs a new
 ticket opened? Or is there some other WP default widget that also thinks
 it needs a list of every page on the site?
