[wp-hackers] prevent theme's functions.php from loading in wp-settings

[Andrew Nacin]

Well, you could stop it from being called. But trying to prevent
functions.php from loading just to stop a single get_option() call is like
amputating a limb because of a paper cut.

If you're seeing that query, then the featured-content option isn't
initialized. Just add that option manually (something the theme probably
does upon save or something) and you'll avoid the SQL query. Example:
add_option( 'featured-content', array() );
