 * This started happening 1 week ago at the same time we discovered a breach in 
   tinymce plugin.php, but can’t find the source of this overload:
 * IMPORTANT: Do not ignore this email.
    This is cPanel cpuwatch on vps.imysitei.
   com! While processing, the cpu has been maxed out for more than a 6 hour period.
   The current load/uptime line on the server at the time of this email is 21:34:
   01 up 19 days, 6 min, 1 user, load average: 3.63, 3.75, 3.90 You should check
   the server to see why the load is so high and take steps to lower the load. If
   you want stats to continue to run even with a high load; Edit /var/cpanel/cpanel.
   config and change extracpus to a number larger then 0 (run /usr/local/cpanel/
   startup afterwards to pickup the changes).
 * Usage Sample: 48.89MB (38%)
    Peak Usage: 49.02MB (38%) All-Time: 65.59MB on 3/
   30/11 @ 2:03 pm (shutdown) Load Averages: 4.91 4.02 3.84 WP Memory Limit: 64M
   PHP Memory Limit: 128M

 * BTW, I’ve turned on supercache to try and limit the server calls and see in the
   dropins an advanced-cache.php
    Not sure what is causing this or how to fix it.
   There doesn’t seem to be any reason for WP to be calling upon the cpanel…
