[wp-hackers] get total of posts NOT in selected categories

[Ashish Saini]

@Andrew
Codex says - The get_var function returns a single variable from the
database. Though only one variable is returned, the entire result of the
query is cached for later use.

So what is not being cached?

Thanks & Regards
