Not a stupid question. Yes, that would be faster. Using the API, however, is even better, and this is exactly what is done in the rewrite. As such, I would suggest not to implement this in the trunk - the current version works, albeit slow. If this is really a problem for you, upgrade to the rewrite.

Hello
May be this is a stupid question but what about basing 'page.isRedirectPage()' on 'getVersionHistory(revCount=1)' instead of 'get()' because this could be faster for big pages...?
Thanks and Greetings! DrTrigon
