 * Since the latest version my server is getting huge CPU spikes when I activate
   the plugin and go to the media library. Was working fine in previous versions.

 * How many items are you displaying at the time? The process on the server-side
   is the same, but the way it’s performed is very different. It used to be when
   the page was being generated, now it doesn’t impact it at all. It does it afterwards,
   but indeed, it does a request for each entry… at the same time. So that might
   be that. I need to look into this a bit.

 * I am having exactly the same problem. I used to display 300 images at the same
   time and with this setting I can’t even display the library in list view. I have
   reduced it to 100 images, it’s a bit better but it takes a while to display the
   page.
    And on top of it I can’t even rename a single image manually. It goes 
   into an infinite loop, no error message.
 * I’m using the latest version of the plugin, pro version, with WP 5.5.1. I have
   not uploaded any image since February.

 * Precision: I am able to rename from the Edit Media page but not from the Media
   Library page.

 * Hi [@hungryjos](https://wordpress.org/support/users/hungryjos/), [@fonda61](https://wordpress.org/support/users/fonda61/),
 * Before, in this thread, I said that…
 * > it does a request for each entry… at the same time.
 * From version 5.0.6, it doesn’t anymore. So you can have 100 items per page if
   you like, the requests are done consecutively, two by two.
 * It should help 🙂 Let me know if it works better for you.

 * Hi Jordy,
    I have installed v5.0.6. It works much better now, not soliciting 
   the CPU so much. I can again rename a file manually from the List view now. It
   takes ~20 secs, more or less what it was in the past. Thank you for fixing the
   issue rapidly.
