[wp-forums] Codex: Using Permalinks

[esmi at quirm dot net]

Arising out of:

<http://wordpress.org/support/topic/361588>

and the wording in:

<http://codex.wordpress.org/Using_Permalinks#Structure_Tags>

"%postname%
     A sanitized version of the title of the post (post slug field on 
Edit Post/Page panel). So “This Is A Great Post!” becomes 
this-is-a-great-post in the URI (see Using only %postname%). Starting 
Permalinks with %postname% is strongly not recommended for performance 
reasons.. *** Note - this has been changed and is ok to do since ver. 2.0 "

I've just read right though the wp-tester discussion on scalability and 
I didn't see anything in there that suggested it was "OK" to start 
permalink with %postname% in 2.x. As I understand it, starting with a 
numeric is still the best option for performance.

Have I missed something?
