 Hey,

 while debugging some other issue, I found a issue with WP core (I think).
 I created a simple test file:
 {{{#!php
 <?php
 $parse_uri = explode( 'assets', $_SERVER['SCRIPT_FILENAME'] );
 require_once( $parse_uri[0] . 'wp-load.php' );
 ?>
 }}}

 And straced it.

 My wp install is in /var/www/vhosts/staging/

 However in strace I would get a lot of:
 lstat("/root/./abstracts/abstract-wc-widget.php", 0x7fffd1551960) = -1
 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
 lstat("/root/./admin/index.php", 0x7fffd1551e40) = -1 ENOENT (No such file
 or directory)
 lstat("/root/./class-wc-dependencies.php", 0x7fffd1551ce0) = -1 ENOENT (No
 such file or directory)
 lstat("/root/./includes/class-wc-embed.php", 0x7fffd15519e0) = -1 ENOENT
 (No such file or directory)

 Or:
 lstat("/root/acceptance.php", 0x7fffd1552c90) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or
 directory)
 lstat("/root/akismet.php", 0x7fffd1552c90) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or
 directory)
 lstat("/root/checkbox.php", 0x7fffd1552c90) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or
 directory)
 lstat("/root/count.php", 0x7fffd1552c90) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or
 directory)

 Or:
 lstat("/usr/share/php/admin/admin_functions.php", 0x7fffd1551b10) = -1
 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
 lstat("/usr/share/php/admin/index.php", 0x7fffd1551e40) = -1 ENOENT (No
 such file or directory)

 This is in no way a major thing, however I think it should be checked
 where this comes from (especially since a couple plugins seem to hook in
 some of the things and then use a is_file (whcih returns false & is
 therefore uncached) which makes websites unnecessarily slow.
