 * Some queries seem to be locking up our server and I’m curious what can be done
   about this;
 * | 2721 | admin_wp | localhost | admin_wp_vdownloader | Query | 82 | freeing items
   | UPDATE `t_options` SET `option_value` = ‘1326484022’ WHERE `option_name` = ‘
   _transient_doing_cron’ |
    | 2722 | admin_wp | localhost | admin_wp_vdownloader
   | Query | 82 | freeing items | UPDATE `t_options` SET `option_value` = ‘1326484022’
   WHERE `option_name` = ‘_transient_doing_cron’ | | 2723 | admin_wp | localhost
   | admin_wp_vdownloader | Query | 82 | freeing items | UPDATE `t_options` SET `
   option_value` = ‘1326484022’ WHERE `option_name` = ‘_transient_doing_cron’ | 
   | 2724 | admin_wp | localhost | admin_wp_vdownloader | Query | 83 | freeing items
   | UPDATE `t_options` SET `option_value` = ‘1326484021’ WHERE `option_name` = ‘
   _transient_doing_cron’ | | 2725 | admin_wp | localhost | admin_wp_vdownloader
   | Query | 82 | freeing items | UPDATE `t_options` SET `option_value` = ‘1326484022’
   WHERE `option_name` = ‘_transient_doing_cron’ | | 2726 | admin_wp | localhost
   | admin_wp_vdownloader | Query | 34 | Updating | UPDATE `t_options` SET `option_value`
   = ‘1327088870’ WHERE `option_name` = ‘_transient_timeout_dlm_c | | 2727 | admin_wp
   | localhost | admin_wp_vdownloader | Query | 82 | freeing items | UPDATE `t_options`

 * My ecommerce site is hosted on BlueHost and I noticed a severe slowdown and then
   lockup when I’m updating former posts that are now Articles.
 * Bluehost said I’m using too much CPU resources and throttled down the site severely.
   It only happens when I use the back end of WordPress not the site itself.
 * What could be the cause of this and how can I get rid of it. I didn’t have the
   problem with the older version of WordPress.
