I *know* this is the wrong forum for 5.47e suggestions, but there *is* no forum for 5.4x suggestions anymore.
The search routines in 5.x suck ... any easy code clean up or speed improvements any of you might have to reduce the load the script takes on my server would result in me kissing your ass for weeks to come. Seriously, I'll bet most of you could look through that file and find at least a few simple streamlining changes you could make, and you don't even need to document it well - just code to search for and code to replace it with is fine.
Thanks in advance.
