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).

The Best WordPress SEO Plugin? A combination of two.
