 * Hi,
 * I´ve installed this plugin in order to decrease the load time on mobile.
 * In April I almost reached the CPU usage limit and I contacted my hosting company(
   SiteGround). They told me that one of the things I could check is regarding the‘
   adaptive-images’ plugin because there is a script doing many CPU executions.
 * Is this a problem of my website? Is there any way I could adapt my website in
   order to use better your plugin?
 * I´m happy with the plugin and would be great to find a wat to decrease the CPU
   usage!
 * Best regards,
    Ricardo Franco

 * Hi, Ricardo,
 * Indeed the plugin could be making “some” CPU calls, but our tests and experience
   has show that it has never been a problem so far.
 * Some of the things that might contribute to this problem can be: having too many
   images in a page, a page with a lot of images receiving a lot of traffic, the
   whole website receiving a lot of traffic, the images having a small Expires header
   or no caching at all, etc.
 * These are all things that might cause a lot and frequent requests for your images
   and it is the Adaptive Images plugin that handles them. However, as I said previously,
   this has not been the case, at least so far and that we know of.
 * One thing you could try is disabling the Adaptive Images plugin for a while and
   seeing if the CPU usage in your server is dropping significantly. If that is 
   so, then you might need to make some decisions.
 * Other than directly disabling and then enabling plugins, I’m afraid there is 
   no easy way to detect which one is eating up your CPU. It would require some 
   really deep debugging.
 * Let me know how it goes and if I can help any further!
 * Cheers,
    Takis

 * Hi Takis,
 * I disable the Adaptive Images plugin and the CPU Usage went down sharply.
 * Unfortunately, we´ll have to keep disabled because we do not know how to solve
   this issue.
 * Best regards,
