Description:
The drupal_lookup_path function unnecessarily counts all rows of the url_alias table to determine if any aliases are defined. This can be expensive on a transactional database such as MySQL with the InnoDB Storage Engine or PostgreSQL when a website has a lot of aliases. This patch modifies the query to always only return one row, possible because any existing pid will be greater than 0. If no aliases are defined, it will return 0.
Status:
This patch has not been merged into any release of Drupal.
