 * Yeah, real nice work on getting a workaround at all. There may be something possible
   that is “confined” to the plugin instead of having to change the template more
   but I haven’t thought of it yet :(.
 * And, frankly, I’m still on 1.5 so I can’t diddle with it much :).

 * After looking at the 2.3 codebase, the problem is that they’ve changed where 
   the ‘the_title’ filter is applied. It used to be applied from within the ‘the_title()’
   function and it was applied such that the before and after text was included 
   in the text being filtered so the filter — and hence my plugin — was given the
   before and after text to work with. Now the filter is applied in the ‘get_the_title()’
   function before the before and after text are applied so the filter — and again,
   by extension, my plugin — doesn’t get the before text anymore.
 * So, frankly, I’m busted. I’m glad people are finding workarounds but the global
   variable method isn’t clean enough for me to include in a plugin update. If I
   think of something else, I’ll issue an update but WP has sort of tied my hands
   on this one.

 * Sounds like you didn’t install things in the right place. If you remove the `
   wp-content/plugins/spell-plugin.php` file, you will have your site back.

 * > Have you found anything ColdForged?
 * Not really. They asked for a minimal example, so I gave them one ([http://www.coldforged.org/cachetest/cachetest.php](http://www.coldforged.org/cachetest/cachetest.php))
   that simply performs `readfile()` on one of the files from my cache, bracketed
   with PEAR::Benchmark calls. Still takes at least half a second. We’ll see what
   they say.

 * That went well. Let me rephrase, I guess.
 * Using a cache, how many pages per second should I expect from a web host? Should
   a `readfile()` call on a shared web host take less than half a second?

   if your server supports the built-in PHP pspell library.

 * Well, I’m not “back” per-se, but I guess my statement that I won’t be supporting
   the plugins _ever_ might have been pessimistic ;).

 * Do you have a link? When you show source you see nada? If you temporarily disable
   the plugin does the site come back fine? — though with -title- prepended to the
   entry titles, of course.

 * Thanks to everyone for the kind words and thanks, sithicus, for the generous 
   offer. Believe me when I say it’s much appreciated and I’ll keep it in mind. 
   Right now I think a hiatus will be good, though I do find myself missing a place
   to fling thoughts up :).
