 * This plugin is very useful but, it cause a slowdown of the backend, and high 
   CPU usage.

 * Thank you for your positive review. Much appreciated.
 * Regarding high-resource utilization, have implemented a number of tweaks to reuse
   what WooCommerce already fetches from the DB and keep the proliferation of new
   queries at minimum when building the orders’ history statuses on the orders page.
   Not sure what else could do to perform better atm (apart of common-sense tweaks
   like less items per page, etc.). Anyway, if you may encounter a reproducible 
   issue, I’ll be glad to try to address it.

 * Hi [@khalil43](https://wordpress.org/support/users/khalil43/)
    Just updated the
   plugin to version `1.8`. A query cache via transients was implemented, so it 
   should be significantly faster and utilize less resources now. May give it a 
   try and report back in the support forums how well it works for you. Thanks.
