 * So I was getting throttled by bluehost because I was taking up too much cpu or
   something. So I removed a few plugins which might have caused it xml sitemaps
   plugin for example but before that I did a repair/optimize on all 3 databases(
   I only use one)
 * And it have decreaed alot, I think I was getting throttled 3-4000sec one day 
   and now it seems to be down to 30-40 sec.
 * I assume you’re not supposed to get throttled At all?
 * Anyway, I looked at my error logs on their control panel, Logs – error logs
 * And this is one that shows up Alot:
 * [Wed Aug 3 18:32:48 2011] gh.cgi: Use of uninitialized value in numeric ne (!
   =) at gh.cgi line 874.
 * But different number at the end.
    What does that mean? and seems to be alot of
   php errors also.
 * [30-Jul-2011 16:56:31] PHP Fatal error: Call to undefined function add_action()
   in /home6/letskill/public_html/wp-includes/theme.php on line 1169
 * etc. How can I make this problem better?

 * 30-40 seconds is actually really good. The following will help explain this:

 * Since the on/off throttling switch happens in less than a second, you will find
   that you can be throttled without ever having any real problems, and without 
   any slowdowns on your site.
 * Unless you are getting it all crammed together, with all the throttling happening
   at the same time, you should be just fine with up to one or two-thousand seconds
   of throttling, and never notice any problems because of it.
 * My own site was getting throttled quite a bit and I did several steps to reduce
   cpu-usage. Though I probably could do more, I am currently satisfied with where
   I’m at. I now get about 100-300 seconds a day and have never noticed any problems
   since then.

 * Alright cool, for some reason I thought you were doing something wrong it if 
   you even got one sec.
