Walrus has broken WP every whcih way and thrice on Sundays, and even he has gotten fed up with the stupid bloat in it now.
I'm beginning to think a better thread title to see is: "What are the alternatives to WP?"
I've heard B2Evo, Serendipity, Nucleus, and a couple others whose names escape me right now.

The alternative, other than Drupal, that is getting the most developer attention right now is Habari.
Click Here for the project page.
It shows alot of promise because the programming is object based and, therefore, should run leaner.
The problem with Habari is that it is new. As a consequence, theme, plugin, and functioonality support is not anywhere near what Wordpress and Drupal is. For a pornblog, however, much of that is uneeded because most pornblogs are not really Web 2.0 pubs. And, enabling Web 2.0 functions as well as the attempt to make Wordpress a simple CMS tool (talk about bloated, try Joomla) is what makes Wordpress heavy.
Habari may be a very good solution for most porn blogs. I am putting it on a site and may develop a minimalistic theme for it just to see where it goes.
More Habari project information can be found at the following links..

One of the motivations for the Habari project, btw, was the GPU 2 liscense versus the commons or GPU 3, which has numerous implications for its open source development - mostly good, imo.
