 * 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.
