G'day BT,
Why do you need to strip_tags on a title? (just in case?)
Why 35 cols by 5 rows and a varchar of 70?
Must have a look for all the strip_tags on our site and remove those that are not needed, on category_name for instance, might make it go a bit faster!.

Strip tags were already there for Page Title, so I left it there.
Varcharacter , NO, Text (I believe).
Column size and rows doesnt really matter. But 70 length Is good
