[wp-hackers] WP_Rewrite without query var

[Chris McCoy]

Ya I switched to flush on register_activation_hook.

Which action would be the best to add the add_rewrite_rule to? Is init ok
for that?

Flushing the rewrite rules on init is not recommended.  This recreates the
.htaccess / web.config file on every page load (admin, ajax, and front end).

Try using an option or activation hook to only flush the rewrite rules when
you actually need to.
