Comment (by miqrogroove):

 In miqro-28724-part2.patch:

 * Optimize handling of whitespace in wptexturize().

 What I found was that HTML-heavy posts tend to have a large amount of
 whitespace between elements, due to the formatting imposed by TinyMCE.
 Lists and tables in particular tend to have a newline after every element.
 These cases improve by ~25% less time spent texturizing whitespace.

 A moderately long post with little HTML still tends to contain whitespace
 around commonly used shortcodes, the "more" tag, and the inline formatting
 tags.  There is a minimal speed improvement in these cases.

 Short posts such as "hello world" will have a fixed cost and tend not to
 benefit from optimizations.

 Let's commit that and call it fixed.  :)
