 * I received an email from my hosting provider, stating that my site is causing
   other sites on my server to run slow because the wp-cron file is coming up to
   much and if it continues my hosting will be suspended. Can anybody tell me what
   the wp-cron.php file is, what it does, and possibly how I can resolve this issue?
   If needed I can include a copy of the email that was sent. It’s a pretty general
   email but, let me know..
 * The site is notsomotivational.com
 * Thanks.

 * I received an email from Just Host telling me:
 * As you probably aware, here at Just Host we proactively monitor all our servers
   to ensure that our clients websites are loading as fast as possible at all times.
   During this routine monitoring we have found that your account is utilizing an
   excessive amount of system resources, and we have been forced to suspend your
   site as per our terms and conditions ‘10% CPU Policy’
 * Does anyone know what on my WordPress blog could be taking up so many resources
   and if there is a host that doesn’t have a 10% CPU policy?
    Thanks, foodrambler

 * I’m also with Just Host and keen to find out how to reduce the CPU usage. in 
   particular with the wp-admin/index.php file.
 * So, it’s my dashboard rather than the site itself, could it be the stats plugin,
   my theme, or something else?
    Thanks, kozdesign
