 * Running WPMU makes a big difference as the performance hit from one blog is exponentially
   raised as it’s applied to a network of WPMU blogs … so if your blog’s slow down
   or spike is only 10% … which is fine … it affects my network over 300%, which
   is horrible.
 * Regardless of whether or not the code is “used” it still has to be executed, 
   which many PHP programmers know, often takes more time then the execution itself.
 * So the compile time + memory trade off (nearly 300K of RAM per blog) was enough
   for me to scrap it and once I did, the results were clear, it was a hog and a
   half.
 * PS – I still use UTW on my personal blog. 😉

 * Without opening it up and running Xdebug on it — I was able to see a 300% performance
   increase after disabling the plugin.
 * While the plugin was enabled I was constantly getting script timeouts reported
   by PHP.
 * The thing’s a beast, at 4500+ lines of code, it’s a beast of a plugin.
 * UTW was discussed on WP-Hackers in the recent past, here’s the link:
