   Is using

   /%postname%/%post_id% (no slash at the end)

   okay?

   I've been using this permalink structure for 1-2 years. Back then, when I decided on this structure, (http://codex.wordpress.org/Using_Permalinks) said that starting with %postname% was okay. Now, it says otherwise and, thus, I am worried.

   http://codex.wordpress.org/Using_Permalinks also says:

   If you want to list your site in Google News, one of the requirements is to have at least three digit identifier at the end of every url.

   This is easily accomplished using %postname%-%post_id% structure, which will append post ID to the end of URL so it becomes http://example.com/cooking-tips-tricks-344.

   %postname%-%post_id% is okay, right?
   %postname%/%post_id% - is this okay? (hopes)

   As of April 14, 2011 - using /%postname%/%post_id% still causes performance problem. (sighs)
