 * I use WP as a backend publishing tool for a site built using a series of php 
   templates. I use the following code to call posts and/or categories and include
   them in the templates:
 *     ```
       <?php
       ini_set (user_agent, "blah");ini_set (default_socket_timeout, "5");
       error_reporting(0);
       $theurl="http://www.theurl.com/blog/2007/11/02/the-post-or-category-slug/";
       $filestring=file_get_contents("$theurl");
       echo "$filestring";
       ?>
       ```
   
 * This works fine, but in cases where some templates have multiple instances of
   these calls I’ve noticed it creates a pretty (very) heavy load on Apache. Can
   anyone advise a way to do this that’s less CPU intensive?
 * Can’t use simple
 * `<?php include(="http://www.theurl.com/blog/2007/11/02/the-post-or-category-slug/");?
   >`
 * as security-wise my host says no go.
 * BTW, WP sits in a folder in the route directory (as above) called blog. I guess
   I could call the posts/categories directly from the DB but not sure how to do
   this…any suggestions?
 * Many thanks,
 *  – Rob
