Comment (by danieliser):

 @MikeHansenMe: My pleasure. Will see what I can come up with though my
 ideal / proposed solution would be to simply move the initial check for a
 time value would simply be moved to an external function, then called in
 place.

 Ideally no real change to the existing methods already there, just a
 separation into a reusable method.

 In the future though some core calls could use the new method to reduce
 unneeded queries. Though I think its use becomes more evident with a large
 production site with a large mix of plugins & theme functionalities.

 Personally I only tend to use transients to store a timer, then store the
 actual data as an option so that autoload handles it unless not needed,
 though I have always wondered personally why the transients are not
 autoloaded in general as they tend to be checked quite often.
