On every user pageview Autopromote calls User::getEmail() which then wakes up CentralAuth, and goes to external data source. Possible solutions: Store user verification information at least in session.. Even better - not go to centralauth database for such views at all.
The only "Autopromote" I can find is in FlaggedRevs, and that only runs on ArticleSaveComplete and doesn't appear to call getEmail().
Domas, does this issue still exist?
Unable to reproduce.
