# WP Super Cache Causing high "doing_wp_cron" load

 * Our blog is lightning fast thanks to WP-Super Cache, but we’re having hiccups,
   and now we’re noticing this Cron issue..
 * Our blog is doing this Cron thing right before it goes offline for about 30 seconds.
   It’s always when we are accessing the dashboard, saving a post, or publishing
   a post, or clicking on a link in the dashboard.
 * And we installed WP-Super Cache in like January, so I’m not convinced that this
   problem was totally fixed.
 * I believe that these are related to other issues that we’ve had with WP-Super
   Cache causing “high load” as you call it- so much that is makes [http://edreach.us](http://edreach.us)
   unreachable for about 30secs to 1 minute.
 * Is there a setting I should change in the backend that would help with this?
   
   Thanks!
