Being a WordPress 2.5 Bubble Head.

I decided to take the day and use it for fiddling around with WordPress 2.5 a bit. I’ve had the nightly builds installed in my local Sandbox for a while now but I wanted to see how it performed online so I threw up a test install of WordPress and updated it to the latest nightly build. Okay…the package is definitely bigger in size that’s for sure. The latest WP 2.5 build weighing in around 12 MB as compared to around 3 MB for the current 2.3.3 version. That’s hefty to say the least but it certainly didn’t show once 2.5 "bleeding" was up and running. There’s a significant overall speed increase especially when banging around the admin. Once I get a few posts put up on the test site then I’ll be able to better judge the speed of the front end as well as the back end. Can’t do much with "Hello World" now can I?

Put a new build of anything in front of me and watch me lose my mind. It’s pitiful I tell ya’, just pitiful. Good thing I have this blog to yap about it.
