 * I had to delete Jetpack from my site because it was using too much CPU (or I 
   assume it was). My web host took my site offline temporarily until I fixed the
   problem. I removed Jetpack because it was the plugin I had most recently added,
   and the CPU has gone way down.
 * It’s unfortunate because I really liked Carousel.

 * Try activating jetpack and turn off all the components bar the carousel and see
   if your cpu spikes.
 * On the main jetpack page, press learn more on each widget and a deactivate button
   appears for that component.
 * Tho it doesn’t make sense for it to do so….
    Theres nothing that CPU intensive
   in jetpack, ‘cept maybe stats, but that offloads everything to a external server,
   the only thing that could be really is the spelling and grammer plugin, but that
   would only be during publishing….

 * Thanks for the advice. I thought it might be because of the stats, but if it’s
   like you say and goes to an external server, then I don’t know what could have
   caused it.

 * Hi, I think I’m having the same problem too. I’m dealing with high resource usage
   as well and after disabling every other plugin, I now disabled Jetpack to see
   how it affects the CPU.

   s suggestion help you with the CPU usage?

 * Don’t know if this helps I was having a similar issue my dashboard was crashing
   turned out to be a conflict with NextGen Gallery and JetPack I can run both independently
   but not together.
    By shutting off all the JetPack add ons I was able get them
   both running and turn back on Stats but Sharing, Contact Form, and Extra Widgets
   all crashed it again. Initially I was able to turn on Spelling and Gravatars 
   as well but after Extra Widgets crashed it. It decided not to like those either.
   So for now I’m just running Stats.

 * @ Baris: I haven’t tried it again because I’m afraid my site will go down again.
   The CPU only spiked after installing Jetpack, and now that I deleted it, CPU 
   has been normal for several days. My conclusion is that the problem is Jetpack.
 * It’s possible I could use Carousel and disable the other components, but I just
   haven’t been brave enough to try yet.
