Comment (by justindocanto):

 @bordoni - I understand that this would stop the query, but 1) Also stop
 the function in the entire WordPress area and 2) you would have a broken
 'pending comment count' in the top admin menu.

 That suggestion is more of a duck tape job and not a proper solution.
 There should be a way to remove the item from the menu that also stops the
 query and allows the function to run anywhere else it is used.
