 * This plugin overloads the CPU usage with tons of useless requests. Is it really
   necessary that Packlink Pro checks EVERY FIVE SECONDS if there’s a new shipping
   cost for a given shipping company? Is there any way I can reduce the server requests?
   I’m extremely exceeding my webhost’s allowed CPU usage due to Packlink Pro and
   the site is sooooo slow due to this. If I deactivate the plugin, things go smoother.
   I disabled wp-cron and set a server-side twice-a-day cron task, but somehow it
   doesn’t seem to work. Please help!!!
