 * Hi, I am using your plugin WP Security Audit Log on a membership only site and
   it consumes up to 600MB on my VPS.
 * They system is: centOS 6.7, PHP 5.6.13, MySQL 5.6, Apache 2.14
 * We have 2vCores and 2GB of RAM and our mysql server was constantly crashing.
   
   Is this known to you? We also debugged with the “slow log” function in mysql 
   and indeed it was your plugin that was causing these huge memory drains..
 * Thanks for your support, it’s a great plugin, just needs to be happy with less
   RAM 😉

 * Hello Titush,
 * Thank you for your kind words and sorry to see you are having such memory issues.
 * To start off with this issue is specific to your setup, i.e. it is not a known
   common issue so ideally we should troubleshoot the issue in your scenario. WE
   need more information on your setup, for example how many members you have, what
   plugins you have installed, which theme you are using and so on.
 * I do not recommend posting such information on such forums hence can you please
   get in touch with us via email on [support@wpwhitesecurity.com](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/memory-hog-2/support@wpwhitesecurity.com?output_format=md)?
 * Looking forward to hearing from you.

 * Hi there and thanks for responding so quickly. Our site is unfortunately restricted
   access so I can’t provide you with access. We have around 800 members and it 
   may also be linked to our server config which is a bit weak.
 * Maybe if you hear comments like this one from other users, you can test on their
   sites and then post a follow-up reply?
    Would really appreciate it, love your
   plugin so please keep up the great work and thanks for supporting the community!

 * Hello Titush,
 * The plugin is installed on almost 30,000 websites and some of them are quite 
   big installations. I have seen our plugin monitoring a 500 sites multisite installation
   and memory was not an issue.
 * I am telling you this because when there are memory issues usually they are edge
   cases, i.e. the issue is caused by something that is very specific to that particular
   setup.
 * Definitely we are always willing to help everyone who has an issue but cannot
   guarantee that we will find one or that it will be the same case like yours. 
   To be honest we haven’t had a memory issue in quite some time, we’ve invested
   a lot of time in optimizing the plugin 🙂
 * Maybe you can give us more information such as:
 * 1. Does the memory consumption happen immediately upon activation?
    2. Can you
   pin point a specific change that might be causing the plugin to consume so much
   memory?
