 * Hi there
 * I am investigating weird high server load at my wordpress installation, and I
   think it might be this plugin, causing absurdly high requests within my own site.
   Do you know anything about this?

 * from my server logs, seems to be something with RSS? My provider says I am “getting
   hits from your own server IP that is causing site to crash”.

 * It wouldn’t be from my plug I don’t think, as it’s only job is to look up images
   on posts only when the RSS feed is being visited and output.
 * From the looks of it, it’s saying mysqld is out of memory, and wants to kill 
   that process. The simple test would be to deactivate the plugin and see if it
   continues.
 * The rss in the dmesg output is not RSS, it’s rss referring to “resident memory
   in use”…
 * The fields are:
 * pid The process ID.
    uid User ID. tgid Thread group ID. total_vm Virtual memory
   use (in 4 kB pages) rss Resident memory use (in 4 kB pages) nr_ptes Page table
   entries swapents Swap entries oom_score_adj Usually 0
