# Custom Fields causing CPU Overload

 * This problem only happens in 2.6
 * I was really glad when 2.6 fixed the problem with adding multiple custom fields
   at once (without saving) because I use them all the time.
 * However there seems to be a problem. If I add about 5 custom fields at once my
   server will give me the CPU Exceeded Quota error… I checked my cpu overload logs
   and they are all caused by wp-cron.php and they only happen when I try to add
   custom fields to a post. Can anyone help? Has
    anyone had that problem?
 * I didn’t have this problem in 2.5 because 2.5 had a bug that if you did not save
   the post before adding custom fields then wordpress would create several drafts
   of that post…now it seems like 2.6 is a little more ajaxed, but it’s sucking 
   more then my host can take.. and by the way my host is bluehost.com and telling
   me to change hosts won’t help right now.
