A couple of the plugins that I used to have installed on here were bloated and won’t be coming back anytime soon.
Others, however, are incredibly useful, but I do worry about the silly number of SQL queries that they can add.
Brian’s latest comments, for example, seems to add quite a few SQL queries which may not be necessary.
Does anyone have an alternative that offers the same result but with fewer SQL queries??
Cormac says
Maybe you can use feed2js to display the latest comments in your sidebar? I doubt it will equal the same functionality of the previous plugin though.

Aye. That’s the problem 🙁

I crated a cached version of that plugin here: http://ocaoimh.ie/2006/10/26/brians-latest-comments-cached/
It caches the output for an hour so it’s very lightweight and you don’t need to change your theme at all!

Your quite fond of your SQL query checks. 🙂

They aren’t the only factors, but they’re possibly the most visible and easiest ones to fix
