 * I think it’s probably not fixed because my options table is filled with thousands
   and thousands of transient from this plugin.. And i clear them every month..
 * Filling up the options table is pretty bad as they load on every request
 * Any hope to get this fixed?

 * In fact my issue is with these transients:
 * set_transient( ‘instantarticles_content_’ . $this->_post->ID, $content, WEEK_IN_SECONDS);
 * if you have thousands of articles that are a few kb, you end up with a HUGE option
   table that eats up MBs of memory on every request and makes everything slower.
 * I think there should have another solution to this..

 * And the same with the mod_* and timeout_* transients, well generally using the
   options table isn’t a good idea for this i think
