<p>This plugin is lightweight, it adds only one field in database which is deleted if you uninstall plugin using WordPress’ built-in feature for deletion of plugins. Also it will only load jQuery file to head of your page if it wasn’t already loaded by theme or other plugin(s). Checks for gravatar are done via simple AJAX.<br />
If you want to speed up your web site and save on bandwidth and server resources, it is recommended that you also install plugin <a href="http://jasonpenney.net/wordpress-plugins/use-google-libraries/" rel="nofollow ugc">Use Google Libraries</a> which will load jQuery file from <a href="http://code.google.com/apis/ajaxlibs/" rel="nofollow ugc">Google AJAX Libraries</a>.</p>
<p>In order to plugin works, it needs to be on server with PHP 5 and on WordPress 2.8 or above.</p>
