 * When I have this plugin installed, the index page doesn’t function properly. 
   Posts and pages work ok, but the index page is blank and all you can see is the
   theme.
 * When I disabled this plugin, the site works 100% again.

 * I have almost the same problem… In my case index works fine but if I enter post
   with a large comment page isn’t loaded any more. I see only background image 
   of my theme. After disabling the plugin everything works fine.

 * Denis at Semilogic provided a solution that resolved my issue. I wrote an article
   about it [here](http://www.question-defense.com/t13). Hope that helps.
