# [Plugin: WP to Twitter] Memory issue

 * I’ve installed this plugin on two Linux VPS servers. I couldn’t figure out why
   they kept slowing down and hanging for several seconds each time a post got tweeted.
   I’ve got several sites on both servers and everything’s been running smoothly
   for months on them with several blogs and plugins. I finally deactivated all 
   plugins and did some experiments with just the wp-twitter plugin activated and
   found at that each time a post got tweeted the plugin was consuming over 400MB
   of ram! Needless to say I had to deactivate it, which is a shame because I’d 
   really like to use it. Has anyone else experienced delays when posting tweets
   from WP?

 * Seriously? Wow – that’s crazy. I have no idea why the plug-in would consume that
   kind of RAM – but I’ll look into it and try and find out.

 * Hi guys, i am having the exact same issue. Recently migrated to a Linux VPS environment
   from a shared environment and have found that with this plugin enabled, every
   time a post is added it takes an extra long time to complete.
 * For example, with plugin disabled, takes around 1 or 2 seconds for post to completely
   publish and page reload.
 * With plugin enabled, takes anywhere between 10 and 60 seconds to post, and if
   i try and add multiple posts at the same time (that is a few seconds apart, so
   the first article is trying to publish when i hit publish on subsequent articles)
   every post will come up with a 500 Internal Server Error even though generally
   the posts actually DO publish
 * Don’t have any issues with the plugin disabled and have tested this thoroughly
   by adding 10 or so articles at once.
 * Any suggestions? I love this plugin and want to use it but it just causes too
   many issues now 🙁
