# Version 3 causing spike in processor usage

 * Our host temporarily shut our site down for exceeding our 25% processor usage
   limit shortly after the upgrade to version 3 was installed. I’ve had to disable
   the plugin to get us back online. I’m not certain what exactly is going on. It
   doesn’t appear to be the conflict with the WPML plugin, as that isn’t installed
   on our site. Any help would be appreciated; I’d hate to have to abandon this 
   plugin.

 * Can they give you a list of the processes or code that was causing it?

 * I can try to find out, but it may take a while. It didn’t seem to show up on 
   any error logs I could find, myself.

 * I think I just found an infinite loop in the code. Were you using a shortcode?
   If so, can you post it here so I can see if it might have been the cause?

 * I was actually using the widget directly. Did the infinite loop involve shortcodes
   specifically, or would it affect the whole plugin? Later tonight, I can try enabling
   the update you released today and see if it causes any problems, but I don’t 
   want to risk it if it wouldn’t affect widget instances.
