 * Hey guys!
 * our “wp_posts” has over 15k entries and slows down our whole wordpress installation(
   up to two minutes sometimes), cause one query blocks all other queries on the“
   wp_posts” table.
 * Maybe a LIMIT will fix this issue, but unfortunately I don’t have any idea where
   to finde the where. Can anyone help?
 * Query (founded via phpMyAdmin):
 * SELECT `ID` , `post_author` , `post_date` , `post_date_gmt` , `post_status` ,`
   post_name` , `post_modified` , `post_modified_gmt` , `post_parent` , `post_type`
   
   FROM `wp_posts` WHERE ( ( post_status = ‘publish’ AND ( post_type = ‘post’ OR
   post_type = ” ) ) OR ( post_status = ‘publish’ AND post_type = ‘page’ ) ) AND
   post_password = ” ORDER BY post_modified DESC
 * THX for any help in advance.
 * Cheers
    Whooper
