19372	Don't call wp_count_comments() when we don't need to	johnbillion		"Comments get counted on every admin screen with `wp_count_comments()`. We can skip a database call by not counting them if the user doesn't have the `edit_posts` capability.
----
''Side note:'' With a persistent object cache it's possible to have admin screens with zero database queries with this patch applied. As an exercise you could write a database class that lazy loads MySQL and you'll get an admin screen that doesn't load MySQL. Almost completely pointless, but interesting nonetheless."	enhancement	new	normal	Awaiting Review	Performance	3.2	minor		has-patch
