 Hello, I was analyzing my wp_option table size and noticed some enormously
 big "transient_feed_*" rows (with news-like serialized content). After
 fresh install my WP database takes up 606 kB, wp_options consumes 425 kB
 of it, and three "fransient_feed_***" rows holds up to 350 kB of that
 table - more than 80 percent!

 I finally tracked saving of those transient to class-feed.php file ... so
 it seems like automated action when fetching any RSS feed.

 I know they are transients ... but is it performance-wise to hold 245kB of
 text in one table column? I don't know, actually, so I ask.
