Performance issues

The plugin has great functionality, thanks! Definitely saved me and my client a lot of time custom coding this feature, and has greatly reduced the amount of spam they get.

However, we are using version 1.7 on a site with 10k users. When I first installed it, I had to unhook pw_new_user_approve::instance()->dashboard_stats() because it was completely killing our site.

I re-hooked it with my own function that doesn’t show how many approved users there are, only pending and denied. I believe the issue was in get_user_statuses() – it gets thousands of approved users at once.

I just upgraded to 1.7.3 and the load on our server started shooting up to over 20. I had 504 gateway timeouts and wsod in the admin. I reverted the upgrade and the load immediately started going back down.

I think it might have been something to do with the new user status bubble.

Let me know if you need any more info.
