WordPress Performance Trac tickets

@westonruter shared a newly opened ticket #64696 and noted that if real-time collaboration ends up disabling object caching for posts on the frontend, this would be a serious concern.
@westonruter also shared that there are four other performance-focused tickets in the current milestone.
@westonruter asked @pbearne about ticket #64087 and noted that it appeared related to PR #10898, which @pbearne had opened for ticket #64620.
- @westonruter asked whether #64087 and #64620 were duplicates (or vice versa).
- @pbearne responded that they look like duplicates and shared that the patch should fix both issues.
- @westonruter replied that he asked the reporter of the other ticket to test the patch.

@westonruter shared that a security issue had been responsibly disclosed for the Embed Optimizer plugin and that a fix was released the previous Friday.
@westonruter also mentioned that there are several updates across the Performance Lab plugins that would be good to include in a new release.
- @westonruter suggested targeting a release for Thursday and proposed wrapping up any issues and pull requests that are nearly ready before then.
