 * checking my website speed on several sites, while this is not throwing a 500 
   server error, it adds 12-22 seconds to the 3.5 normal website load time.
 * the detailed speed report, reports this plugin as the culprite. disable and back
   to high speed.
 * reenable get 500 server errors and performance problems reload sometimes is succcessful
   from not getting 500 server error
 * i will not pay for pro, if they cant fix the free version too buggy and other
   free security tools out there

 * The File Change Detection and Schedule Database Backups features actually slow
   sites down? I never looked into this but how does this work? When does one site
   gets slowed down? Is this constant or during a certain time?
 * Would like to know more to optimize for speed. I am amazed this is not publicly
   known. Thank you.
