# More RSS problems!

 * I thought we had this problem solved, but my host informed me that my blog was“
   causing the CPU usage on the server to spike” & they put on a restriction. They
   say: “At any given moment smallbones.ca is using 40% or more of cpu cycles on
   the server. When our technician removes the .htaccess (that has all the mod rewrite
   rules in it) the spikes go away.”
    I deleted the rss feed altogether and everything
   is fine with the host, but of course, I want the RSS feed back.
 * This is the content of my .htaccess file; can you see something wrong?:
 *     ```

 * Hi,
 * Refer this article:
 * [http://codex.wordpress.org/WordPress_Optimization](http://codex.wordpress.org/WordPress_Optimization)
 * Also remove all unwanted themes and plugins. Upgrade your blog to the latest 
   version.
 * Thanks,
 * Shane G.

 * Thanks Shane. I already have the latest version, 2.9.2, and I’m using WP Super
   Cache. My server is convinced that something is wrong with the mod rewrite rules,
   which is why I included them above. Can you tell if it’s correct?
 * I reverted to the default theme before & began going through the plug-ins, but
   it doesn’t seem to make any difference.
