 * My site is experiencing high throttling and CPU rates and recently crashed for
   three days after daily visitors jumped from ~2500 to 5000 due to a brief PR piece.
 * After reviewing the recommendations from sites like GTMetrix and BlueHost support,
   I have optimized to the best of my ability and am thinking it may be a server
   issue (much to BlueHost’s insisting that it is not). I would very much appreciate
   any suggestions for further optimization!
 * Current optimization plugins:
    W3 Total Cache WP Super Cache WP-DB Manager WP
   Smush.It WP Smush.It NextGEN Gallery Integration
 * Running mysql reports results in this error log, of which I’m unable to decipher.
   There are quite a few though! and it may be where my issue is?:
 * # Sun Jul 29 14:53:35 2012
    # Query_time: 1.577355 Lock_time: 0.000034 Rows_sent:
   5 Rows_examined: 10 use pepperde_pepperblogv2; SET timestamp=1343595215; SELECT*
   FROM wp_comments WHERE comment_approved = ‘1’ AND comment_post_ID = 9529 ORDER
   BY comment_date_gmt ASC
 * # Sun Jul 29 14:53:36 2012
    # Query_time: 1.025265 Lock_time: 0.000079 Rows_sent:
   3 Rows_examined: 3 SET timestamp=1343595216; SELECT comment_id, meta_key, meta_value
   FROM wp_commentmeta WHERE comment_id IN (20060)
 * I’ve noticed that javascript parsing is something that GTMetrix gives me an ‘
   F’ for – but how do I do this with plugins?
 * Thank you!
