Sanitize & Performance

Hi,

Thanks for this great plugin.

Sanitize
At what times does your plugin sanitize it’s data?
On save only, or also on loading with ot_get_option?

Performance
I see the options are loaded in 1 query at the start of building a page. So that’s nice.
Which one of the methods below would you suggest performance wise?

– first one requests your function 2 times (cpu)
– second one only once, but uses an extra $var (memory)

if (ot_get_option('meta_author')){
echo ot_get_option('meta_author'));
}

or

$option_name=ot_get_option('meta_author');
if ($option_name != ''){
echo $option_name;
}

Thanks
