 * Hello,
 * My site @ bollykings.com is hosted on a shared server on hostgator. It was working
   fine but now they tell me that a script called timthumb was creating load on 
   the cpu. Is there any alternative to fix the issue? Maybe by caching the thumbnails
   or something? I am not sure how to fix this issue without moving to a VPS which
   is not in my budget at the moment. Please guys – anyhelp on this will be highly
   appreciated!
 * Thanks.
