 * I am working in a multisite environment and have a weird issue where some of 
   the websites won’t allow me to view the users list in the dashboard when this
   plugin is turned on. I get a 500 error. I was just curious if this is something
   that has been seen before? Just trying to troubleshoot and assess my options.

 * Thanks for the message.
 * User Switching shouldn’t have any effect on memory usage in this screen (or very
   little anyway). Are you sure it’s User Switching that causes the increased memory
   usage?
 * What’s the error message for the 500?

 * I really appreciate the quick reply. If I click on the list of Users in the dashboard,
   it will spin for a second and then give a 500 error saying the page isn’t working
   and it is unable to handle the request. Only happens on 2 or so sites within 
   a multisite environment of 20+ websites. I have a few other plugins on there 
   but just wanted to check and see if this is an issue that has come up before.

 * I haven’t seen any issues but there could be a bug in there. Or it might be a
   general memory issue in WordPress with displaying 500 users at once.
 * Your best bet is to look into your error log and find the error message, hopefully
   it’ll have something useful in it.
