 * Hi, Preload seems to be maxing out our server CPU with several processes running
   at the same time. Is there any way to stop preload using so much CPU?

 * Preloading is basically force loading all your pages, so you might have a small
   spike in CPU usage (depending on how resource intensive your pages are for the
   web server). You can try to set the preload post interval to a lower value, maybe
   even to 0, so that the script finishes faster. Maybe that can help. Or increasing
   it to allow the CPU to rest a bit between page calls.
 * To be honest, we’ve never had any issues with CPU during testing. Could you please
   share your hosting specs?
 * Best regards,
    Anton
