[wp-hackers] wp_list_authors and DB queries

[Computer Guru]

It definitely should be possible to rewrite all that replacing those queries
with just two or three depending on what the plugin does.

Take a look at the database schema, study the code to see what it's trying
to accomplish, and write your own query + result processor to get the job
done. 117 is definitely unacceptable.
