Auto-Optimize WordPress Database without a Plugin
These horses are somehow not cool. Speeding up your blog is.
I am working on a WordPress project that has a pretty heavy database, and I want to be able to auto-optimize the WordPress database. Even though they are integrating this functionality into WordPress 3.0, I want it now, and without having to use a plugin (I have had some issues with WP-DBManager configuring properly on a few sites).
If you add the following code to your functions.php file, it will automatically optimize your WordPress database every 6 hours, keeping it squeaky clean.

Load time improvements
Load time matters
Imagine waiting 18 seconds for a page to load (on a high-speed connection) — not just the home page, but any inside page of a website. Pretty frustrating, right? Having bad load times makes a huge difference to your customers. I helped a new client reduce page load time from 19 seconds to 3 seconds.
Speed up your Mac – only thing that worked for me!
I’ve tried repairing the permissions. Limiting desktop icons. Removing Safari’s support for ICO icons. Clearing more hard drive space. Nothing. Frickin’. Worked. I have been so frustrated by how slow my Mac Pro has been. I have 2 2.66GHz dual-core processors, 2 GB of memory, and still I was getting spinning beach balls, crunching hard drives and slow menus…and nothing seemed to fix it. I decided to take action. I was fed up! And you know what? It’s really quite simple.
