 * Does anyone know what these sort of query’s mean?
 * SELECT * FROM wp_users WHERE ID = ‘229’ LIMIT 1
    SELECT * FROM wp_users WHERE
   ID = ‘155’ LIMIT 1 SELECT meta_key, meta_value FROM wp_usermeta WHERE user_id
   = ‘191’ SELECT meta_key, meta_value FROM wp_usermeta WHERE user_id = ‘191’ SELECT
   meta_key, meta_value FROM wp_usermeta WHERE user_id = ‘155’ SELECT * FROM wp_users
   WHERE ID = ‘127’ LIMIT 1 SELECT meta_key, meta_value FROM wp_usermeta WHERE user_id
   = ‘127’ SELECT * FROM wp_users WHERE ID = ‘118’ LIMIT 1 SELECT * FROM wp_users
   WHERE ID = ‘223’ LIMIT 1 SELECT COUNT(*) FROM wp_posts WHERE post_author = ‘251’
   AND post_type = ‘post’ AND post_status = ‘pu SELECT * FROM wp_comments WHERE 
   comment_post_ID = ‘334’ AND comment_approved = ‘1’ ORDER BY comment_ SELECT option_value
   FROM wp_options WHERE option_name = ‘len’ LIMIT 1 SELECT SQL_CALC_FOUND_ROWS 
   wp_posts.* FROM wp_posts LEFT JOIN wp_ec3_schedule ec3_sch ON ec3_sch.p SELECT
   DISTINCT YEAR(post_date) AS `year`, MONTH(post_date) AS `month`, count(ID) as
   posts FROM wp_p SELECT post_id, meta_key, meta_value FROM wp_postmeta WHERE post_id
   IN(2097,2096,2089,2085,2082,2072 SELECT DISTINCT YEAR(post_date) AS `year`, MONTH(
   post_date) AS `month`, count(ID) as posts FROM wp_p INSERT INTO wp_comments SELECT
   comment_date_gmt FROM wp_comments WHERE comment_author_IP = ‘84.179.52.20’ OR
   comment_author_ SELECT post_id, meta_key, meta_value FROM wp_postmeta WHERE post_id
   IN(1583) ORDER BY post_id, meta_ INSERT INTO wp_comments SELECT option_value 
   FROM wp_options WHERE option_name = ‘ec3_day_length’ LIMIT 1 SELECT option_value
   FROM wp_options WHERE option_name = ‘ec3_num_months’ LIMIT 1
 * I am pretty weak when it comes to sql, but to me it looks like I am being spammed
   by someone trying to do something. Perhaps post a lot of comments/posts? should
   i turn off user registration and clear out extra accounts? would bad behavior
   help? I need to get my concurrent query load below 15 at a time or my host will
   keep turning off my cgi.
    would upgrding to 2.2 help at all?
 * running wordpress 2.1
    have wp-cache installed
 * Bah humbug.
