ability to edit post types.
I am running a timeline with 70+ events in it.
Each event is grabbing my jetpack Share options. That means that for each item on the timeline the plugin is treating it as a separate post. So on each page hit WP is trying to query 70+ posts. (my understanding anyway) I use a cashing plugin, so this helps some on the load time, but it still takes time. I am wondering if there might be some why to turn off the "Share this post" option on just the posts in the time line. How might this work? am I missing something?

The timeline plugin pulls in the post excerpt for each post on your wordpress blog using the apply_filter('the_content') function provided by the Wordpress API. If the 'jetpack Share options' is hooking this filter, which I can only assume it is then this is most likely why it is appending the share options to each post - which is the correct behaviour in terms of the functionality provided by this plugin.
I agree that this is obviously quite slow and taxing in generating the page request, but there isn't anything I can do to prevent this plugin from hooking the post content at this point.
I will be adding AJAX loading to the plugin soon so that not all content is added in one go - which is currently what happens, I just haven't had the time to develop it yet. Hopefully this will resolve your issue when I have had a chance to implement the changes.
Thanks, Well, I'll update when you release your AJAX update.
Actually, after some more thought, perhaps if the plugin could be coded to use a custom post type, rather than a standard post type then would the filter apply_filter('the_content') still apply? Perhaps what would be useful would be if the user can select if they want to use standard posts or if they want to use custom posts.
