 * I am very sorry to write a negative review of someone’s hard work, but this plugin
   is not something to install on your BuddyPress site.
 * The plugin writes tons upon tons of session files – often in random folders and
   can throttle your site. This:
 * [/home/sitename]# grep -in session_save ./public_html/wp-content/plugins/buddypress-
   profile-views/bp_profile_views.php
    20: session_save_path(“../”) ;
 * is likely the guilty piece of code.
 * I wish the developer the best of luck if he/she decides to tackle this again.
   It would be a very handy thing to have. But, until and unless there is a new 
   release of this plugin, I strongly advise against installing it.
