[wp-hackers] MySQL Replication Latency Issues in wp-admin pages

I just noticed that the latest version of HyperDB contains a new
function called send_reads_to_master(), which should solve my problem
technically.

Dion, It seems that I could just add a conditional check to db-
config.php that would set send_reads_to_master(), or $srtm, to true,
is is_admin() is true.

Would that work?
