 * Will this plugin work with 5,000 posts? Is this going to add to the server load
   and page load times?
 * thanks

 * It’s running for the first time on my blog with 15,000 posts. The load is 0.02

 * There was a big spike in server load when I first installed on a site with 10,000
   pages. This was in the “warning zone” for my hosting company (Hostgator)—so it
   makes sense to monitor this.
 * Now that the plugin is running continuously, there is not further issue.

 * Could you please be more specific about this “warning zone’? I am on the Hostgator
   too but never experienced such extreme.
 * Did you see something on the Cpanel?
 * My BLC runs a “Nuclear Option” as a developer calls it and there is currently
   29000 URL in the work queue and the current load is 0,02
 * In other words, are you sure that the ‘spike’ wasn’t a figment of your imagination?
 * Thanks in advance.

 * bottleneck,
 * After installing the plugin for the first time time, and viewing my HG useage
   in the dashboard, I hit a CPU value in the “high” to “very high” zone. This then
   dropped after a while. No actual issues, though, just FYI, since you asked.

 * polins,
 * You made me confused. I was talking only about the server load, it turns out 
   you have observed CPU usage.
 * Server load does not equate with CPU usage.
 * To make this story short, since there are other users on your server, you have
   seen something not related to BLC activity.
 * Bottom line: no matter how big a blog, BLC won’t overload the server.
 * Thank you.
