 * Without any doubt Wordfence has added value. However, the amount of resources
   which Wordfence takes in the default settings is far too high. For that reason
   I unfortunately had to deactivate the plugin.

 * Hi hmwind,
    Sorry to hear you were not happy with Wordfence. What kind of resources
   are you referring to more specifically? Was it php memory or disk usage that 
   you were seeing issues with? Thanks!
