In the Options|Discussion tab, we’re presented with a checkbox that says, “Attempt to notify any Weblogs linked to from the article (slows down posting.)”

What that means is that for any article linked to in a particular post, wordpress should automatically be sending a ping to alert that article that you’ve written about them, saving you the time of having to manually paste their trackback URI into the Trackbacks section of the Write Post screen.

Sorry to the blogs who got multiple trackback pings from me.  It’s not me.  It’s WordPress 2.0.1 auto-discovery trackback sending duplicate pings. 

So far the results have shown:

no trackback ping sent to my wordpress 1.5.2 blog

2 duplicate auto-pings sent to someone else’s wordpress 2.0 blog

That’s how long it took to publish my last post.  Yet WordPress still claims 0.12 seconds.  Now the question remains whether this has to do with upgrading WP 2.0 to 2.0.1, or if this is a problem even for fresh installs of 2.0.1 (which I haven’t yet done - anyone else?)
