# RSS Performance Issue

 * When running this plugin, my RSS feed _times out_ (10 posts). When I disable 
   it, the feed loads right away.
 * Can there be an option to disable it for RSS or is there any hints at how to 
   make it faster?
 * I have 688 links and I’m running on a DigitalOcean that is running between 10-
   20% CPU overall. The only option I can see is to decrease the RSS post count.

 * Hello. Do you notice a big decrease in time when your homepage or individual 
   posts are displayed, or only on RSS feed ?

 * Hello. I have excluded RSS from displaying affiliate links. Soon I will add option
   to select if the user want to display it or not.
 * I think that the high load was because the rss feed display both the excerpt 
   and full content ( if selected ). In that case the plugin ran twice on the same
   page.

 * Thanks Lucian. Not sure why I didn’t get notification of your comments. I’ll 
   re-enable the plugin and see how it goes.
 * Thank you for looking into it.

 * Hello. Do you still have problems with the plugin performance or it was fixed?
