 * I am having CPU useage trouble with admin-ajax.php which seems to be tied to 
   WooCommerce Mailchimp plugin. Has anyone else noticed this and know if there 
   is a fix or work around.
 * Thanks,

 * Could you provide some specifics? I’ll take a look if you can provide some details
   of the issues.

 * Most likely the issue is that if there isn’t a transient, the plugin tries to
   load the lists from MailChimp on all ajax requests. The check should be `is_admin()&&!
   is_ajax()` at the very least but should probably load the lists _only_ on the
   plugin’s options page in woo.

 * [@aaron](https://wordpress.org/support/users/aaron/),
 * Thanks for the details. I’ll double-check the MailChimp calls and restrict them
   further to ensure they are only running when absolutely necessary.
 * Thanks for the info. Stay tuned for an update.

 * Please update to the latest version 1.3.2.
 * There are some new checks in place to restrict the MailChimp call frequency.
