 * I have been troubleshooting this for the past week or so, and I’m sadly finally
   realizing it is this plugin affecting the MySQL “/usr/libexec/mysqld” process
   which is the culprit of incredibly high CPU utilization (average 200-500% of 
   CPU usage seen when running “top -cM”).
 * I have the Google reCAPTCHA setup properly, and I have tried enabling/disabling
   WP-SpamShield Anti-Spam to see if that would help, but this plugin is still a
   major performance hog.
 * As soon as I disable this plugin, CPU util for /usr/libexec/mysqld goes back 
   down to 40-60% and even less sometimes…
 * Anybody have any idea how to solve for this?
