The comment_text() function retrieve the comment text 2 times

[alexvorn2]

The comment_text() function loads two function that retrieves the comment, so I think It should retrieve only one...

See the function here:

function comment_text( $comment_ID = 0, $args = array() ) {
	$comment = get_comment( $comment_ID );

	$comment_text = get_comment_text( $comment_ID , $args );

	echo apply_filters( 'comment_text', $comment_text, $comment, $args );
}

what get_comment_text() does?:

function get_comment_text( $comment_ID = 0, $args = array() ) {
	$comment = get_comment( $comment_ID );

	return apply_filters( 'get_comment_text', $comment->comment_content, $comment, $args );
}

So if you see the get_comment() is called twice...

Given that the whole $comment object is passed as context to the filters, I don't see that working out. It's cached anyway, doesn't hit the DB twice.
