I have rerolled the path_alias lookup patch, this time with a working admin.
(I blame last night's failure on free OSCon beer!)
This patch allows admins who have enabled the path module to go to
admin/path/configure
And select paths to allow lookups for from a checkbox list.
Any paths not selected will not be invoked during drupal_lookup_path., These requests are intercepted within the url() function.
The issue is described here:
http://drupal.org/node/75976
Again, this is a proof-of-concept patch, designed to see if it buys us any performance gains.
I do need some larger-scale testing, if anyone is willing.
