 * I am getting 500 and 504 errors on V8.5.x and had to downgrade to V8.4.x and 
   seems loads of folks are having this issue. I am trying to see why its so memory
   intensive and overloading the server but cannot see why.

 * For now I think this is alot of people. 8.4.0 works fine. Anything newer and 
   its killing the memory on the server.
