Wordpress Plugin - No Ping Wait
Since this plugin is a bit of an arse to get hold of, I’ve put a copy of it on my server for download.
A bit of history about the plugin.
It was created by Robert Deaton and hosting on Something Unpredictable, which crashed due to a hardware failure and has not been back up since.
It works in Wordpress 2.0 - I have not tried it for 2.1.
It’s very useful if you you ping a lot of servers (A list of some good ones can be found on my post about Wordpress and SEO).

[...] No ping wait (5/48) Have you noticed sometimes, after you press “publish” on your posts, that it takes forever for this command to execute. Well, the reason is the “pinging” process, through which Wordpress tries to notify various blog search and monitoring services that new blog post is coming up, which can take some time. This plugin solves the problem by separating “pinging” and posting into two separate things. [...]
