Holy Shit WordPress

Man, I just found out that saving a page in WordPress overwrites the .htaccess file with its default .htaccess file. Why the hell does it do that when editing a page? The .htaccess file shouldn't even be touched unless I am explicitly editing the permalink structure of the site. Because of this and other quirks that I have mentioned before, I will be getting rid of clean permalinks on my blog. Man, WordPress is now starting to get on my nerves.

Edit: After removing clean permalinks, WordPress has gotten noticeably snappier.

Upgraded Blog to WordPress 2.3.2

Just wanted to mention that this blog has been upgraded. It now uses WordPress 2.3.2 as opposed to before when 2.0.11 was being used. The blog seems a little snappier and I might actually take the time for enable url rewriting to allow for clean URLs. After all the time that I have used Django, I am tired of seeing URLs with query-strings in them on my blog.

Edit: It looks like clean permalinks will work fine for my current site. There were some initial conflicts with my Django apps not being accessible but those issues have been resolved now. Explicit rewrite conditions are put into place to allow the apps to be accessible.

2nd Edit: On second thought, WordPress seems to be more system intensive with the latest update especially regarding memory usage. My server can't really handle the load of rendering pages well anymore. The CPU peaks for a couple of seconds when rendering the index page and uses up around, sometimes over, 10 MB of memory. WordPress was always at the point where it worked well enough to use but the latest update has put it over the limit so I am not sure what I will do. If I had the money to buy a new server or to put this site on a web hosting server then I would do that. It would make things a lot easier.
