# WordPress bug? – get_permalink

 * I’m debugging a plugin (Google XML sitemaps by A. Brachold) trying to spot the
   memory allocation problem on large sitemaps.
 * As a result I have detected that the problem apparently lies into a call to a
   WP function:
 * `$permalink = get_permalink($post->ID);`
 * The statement above is placed into a loop; on a 1,000 rows (posts) loop, the 
   function, “leaks” some 4MB of memory.
 * Is this a well-known behavior or should I open a bug track?

 * I have noticed that two plugins are hooking on get_permalink, so I’m investigating
   further on

 * Definitely looks like a plugin problem! Will post further investigation
