Just passing by (saw the PB on SK2′s homepage)…

As far as SQL performance hogs go, WP is one of the worst server app around. You seem to know enough about SQL schema to understand the need for indices on tables. Seems like whoever designs WP’s DB schema at the moment: doesn’t.

Actually, the latest version of SK2 takes on itself to add some index to WP’s own tables (even though I was really loath to have a plugin affect the behaviour of the whole app, this was the only way I could get it to stop dying whenever too many bots would be attempting to post)… But I recommend you look into it yourself: the ‘post’ table could certainly use some more tidying up…

Also, you may want to look into sk2_mod_security, as a way to reduce the load on SK2/WP2 by weeding out the nastiest IPs at the server level (I am not its main developer, but I will probably post about this SK2 module in the news feed).

Thanks! It’s hard work being “insightful,” but I’ll do my best.
