 * Hi,
 * I really could do with using Jetpack as I have followers on .com, the related
   posts and scrolling are useful too.
 * However I’ve had to switch it off as it slows my site down and causes all manner
   of CPU errors on the host server. Switching it off everything returns to the 
   sort of parameters you’d expect from a site that receives 100-200 visits a day.
 * I’ve read that cron was causing issues but JP support seem to suggest they have
   solved that by altering the time and ensuring it doesn’t get stuck.
 * So, if that’s the case, what else could it be?

 * It would be hard to say, without being able to see server logs and what services
   are taking up all the usage. It is possible to try reduce the frequency that 
   our cron jobs run (although at the current frequency, it shouldn’t cause any 
   issues):

 * Another possibility is that Jetpack could have been conflicting with another 
   plugin.
 * If you could enable Jetpack and connect it again on your site, I can run it through
   our debug tool to take a further look, I’ll just need your site URL.
