 * I have a few options I am trying to clean, in the hopes that my site will run
   faster. Is it ok to remove these?
 * _transient_wflginfl_#########
 * and _transient_timeout_wflginfl_#########
 * (where # is a random number)
 * I have a crap load of them, and think that they may be related to the Wordfence
   security plugin which I removed. I already dropped the tables for wordfence, 
   but the options are still bloated.

 * Having those field in wp_options table will not effect your site speed that much
   I guess. If you are sure you may remove those but that’s not recomended.

 * I have well over 100 of them in there. If it won’t hurt, then I want to remove
   them, but if there is a chance that they are needed by something in WordPress,
   I will leave them in. Are they needed by WordPress?
 * I removed a couple things from the options, and the load speed has gone down,
   so I can only imagine that will also help to some extent.
