 * My client was getting dinged on Siteground because of the excessive cpu usage.
   We tried everything and finally their support found that this plugin was causing
   the issue. According to the logs the plugin is still generating 3 requests per
   minute, which is a lot. Tech says: “To avoid further issues like reaching the
   CPU limits again, it will be better to contact its developers and leave it disabled
   until they found a solution.”
 * I see quite a few others with the same issue. If this won’t be fixed, is there
   another plugin that is worthwhile?

 * I am faced with the same issue at the moment. I am moving all links over to genius
   links now, and then I’ll be disabling this plugin. My logs are full of action
   =aalb_update_table requests, which is causing Siteground to warn me about excessive
   CPU usage 🙁
 * Genius links is a paid for service, but it is still cheaper than being forced
   to upgrade to a plan 10 x what I am currently playing just so I can use this 
   Amazon plugin.
