 * I’d like to deactivate BWP to check some things with other plug-ins and some 
   resource usage spikes I’ve been having on a couple of sites on a shared server.
 * Is it safe to ‘de-activate’ BWP without issue?
 * Thanks.

 * Hi Michael,
 * You should be able to deactivate without issue (I do this for troubleshooting
   myself all the time).
