   fast and it creates zombie processes!

   a post! These processes are eating more than 60% cpu and keep popping up one 
   after another! plz help me I am using wp 3.0.

 * It may be a plugin you are using. Try deactivating all your plugins and then 
   publishing a post. Do you have the same problem?
