setup-config.php unnecessarily writes to wp-config.php on every line

[hansengel]

In wp-admin/setup-config.php, a loop is run to read each line of wp-config-sample.php. There is a default case that says if it can't find a match, that it will overwrite the file anyway with its contents.

This is completely unnecessary, because the file writes wp-config.php for every line, even if there's no match. This just slows down the process!

Also, for some reason str_replace functions used in the switch statement are used differently for separate cases, when there is no need.

Nevermind, this is necessary after more thorough testing.

Indeed - otherwise wp-config.php would be a little empty.
