 * We’re having serious performance issues in WP Admin on one of our sites which
   has v2.0.10 of your plugin installed. We installed the Query Monitor plugin which
   lets you do some basic profiling of what’s going on during requests. The one 
   thing that stuck out was the Uptime Robot was generating over 1,000 database 
   queries, but query monitor indicated those queries took less than one second 
   to process, which couldn’t explain the sometimes 30 second pageloads that were
   occurring.
 * We did a bit of testing, however, and from what I can see it is definitely the
   UptimeRobot plugin causing performance issues. When that is disabled the main
   dashboard page loads in a second or so. With it enabled, it often takes 30-40
   seconds. Although the queries themselves are fast, I suspect Uptime Robot is 
   then having PHP do something with all that information that is very slow. Turning
   it off dramatically increased the performance of some other pages in the admin
   as well.

 * Hi,
 * Thank you for pointing this issue out, since I’m running it on a bit over powered
   server I never noticed this issue. I just pushed an update to prevent duplicate
   queries. Please let me know if 2.1 resolved this issue completely.
 * In my tests the number of queries went down, the load time is something I can’t
   check, so would like to hear your findings.
 * Regards,
    Niels

 * Page speed seems improved with light testing. Thanks!
