 * I’ve released another plugin!
 * Throttle is a WordPress implementation of a bandwidth-limiting throttle. It provides
   an API to monitor and report current site load to your site’s plugins or themes,
   allowing them to limit non-essential elements until load reduces. By doing this
   it can help to limit the effect of traffic peaks on your server’s performance.
   For users it provides a continuously updated indication of your site’s current
   load.
 * Throttle is inspired by Drupal’s own throttling system (although it shares no
   code & uses a different method for judging the level of load!) If you have experience
   using the Drupal throttle to monitor and control your sites you should have no
   problem adapting
    to this version.
 * This is very early in testing although current responses seem good! Feedback 
   much appreciated.
