faster way to show random post

  • In my wordpress theme i have this code,

    <?php query_posts(array('post__in' => get_option('sticky_posts'), 'post_status' => 'publish', 'orderby' => 'rand')); ?>

    this is very slow, is there any faster way to do this.

    try this, add where you want show the random post:

    <ul>
<li><h2>A random selection of my writing</h2>

<ul>
 <?php
 $rand_posts = get_posts('numberposts=5&orderby=rand');
 foreach( $rand_posts as $post ) :
 ?>

<li><a>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></li>
 <?php endforeach; ?>
