   I run a WordPress Site (supercars-for-sale.com) on a shared, free hosting account. (x10hosting)
   The site pulls posts from RSS feeds using FWP.

   If I enable automatic updates, page load times go glacial.
   Also, I get suspended for "excessive resource usage".

   This is because the inbuilt scheduler "wp-cron" only looks for jobs either just before, or just after EVERY loaded each page. Exactly when you don't want it to.

   The solution is to run FWP updates as a REAL cron job.

   I was so chuffed to get this working (and it's simple!), that I wrote a comprehensive blog entry on how to do it..

   Updating Feedwordpress by a REAL Cron Job

   It's working on my website Supercars-For-Sale.Com, and FWP gets updated every four hours via a REAL cron job. In fact, wp-cron is disabled..

   This is coming a bit late, but I wanna thank you for taking time to instruct others and help them out. Got the crons working. Much respect!
