Comment (by peterwilsoncc):

 Thanks for looking in the stats, @Cybr.

 I've reverted the commit for now but am leaving the ticket open to
 consider performance improvements in the future as the function gains
 wider use within Core.

 I considered using a non-persistent cache to store the value and flushing
 it during the upgrade but that failed the though experiment of managing
 plugins modifying the value: the security through obscurity advise would
 simply recommend changing both the global and the cached value.

 Either a `$force` parameter or caching a boolean to determine if the value
 has been populated may be possible.
