 * My hosting said that my wordpress is using too much CPU

 * This looks like some schedualed script problem
    I have searched around, and I
   have commented out wp-cron.php and cron.php. I have taken out the bad behavior
   plugin which was said to have problem with wp-cron.php. Is there anything else
   that could cause the high CPU usage? or is there anything else have things to
   do with cron in wordpress I didn’t notice yet?

 * Who’s your hosting? They may have a track record.
 * Have you tried turning off your plugins?
 * Anything in the webserver error logs?
 * Gotta admit that it bothers me that your host can see a precoess that’s caused
   the issue but hasn’t stated what that process was nor giving you any additoonal
   information. they’re the ones sitting there with the logs.

 * my hosting is nitro zone, and they can’t give me any more information other than
   the index.php crashed the server.
