14115	sticky posts - query.php optimization	michelwppi		"Making improvements in plugin xili-language [http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/xili-language/], I use filter for get_option('sticky_posts')... and to find the right translation of sticky posts for each home language (demo shown here [http://multilingual.wpmu.xilione.com/] ).
The call is at line 2473 of query.php. and done '''every time but only used if is_home is true'''. 
To optimize I propose that this call of get_option can be encapsulated inside if condition as suggested below

{{{
if ($this->is_home) { 
get_option('sticky_posts');
if ( $page <= 1 && is_array($sticky_posts) && !empty($sticky_posts) && !$q['caller_get_posts'] ) { ///// 
}
}
}}}

It is microseconds for server but useful for hooking functions etc, etc..."	enhancement	new	normal	Future Release	Query	3.0	minor		has-patch
