 * Hi, one or a combination of our plugins are increasing the CPU on our hosts web
   server. Any ideas on how we can reduce the CPU time, we have a number of plugins
   and one of the plugins is causing slow website loading times. Can you help?
    
   We have tried deactivating them all and the CPU goes does to 1% , is it just 
   a case of deactivating one plugin at a time then testing the website loading 
   times?

 * After you have deactivated ALL (yes ALL) plugins, re-activate them individually(
   one-by-one) to find the problematic plugin(s).
