 * Hi
    I have just installed it and trialing it.
 * Upon doing a full site scan, I went to check CPU load and it is at 92%.
 * Is there a way to make the scan longer but reduce CPU load on the shared server?
 * I am no expert but I expect ‘shared servers’ have the lowest specifications.
 * Thank you
    ;p]

 * The Complete Scan was designed to run under multiple linear threads so that it
   will finish in a reasonable amount of time without bogging down the server. It
   may use as much of the CPU as is allocated to your PHP processes, but it restricts
   the processing in short bursts that are stacked in line each process taking it’s
   turn after the prior process completes. This ensures that any other simultaneous
   processes started by other requests get answered in a timely manner before the
   next scanner process is initiated. Thus the scanner makes the most of the available
   UPC with minimal interference to any other processes taking place at the same
   time.
 * You are the first person to ask for the scan to take longer 😉 but if you really
   want it to use less CPU you should look into mod_hostinglimits to regulate the
   CPU usage per user. I don’t think this will prove to be beneficial though, as
   my plugin is already tuned to get the best results with the least impact.
 * Let me know if you have any more questions on any of this, or anything else.
 * Aloha,
    Eli
