 * Hi
    We have been running WP eCommerce now for sometime and recently we are running
   into resource issues on the hosting which is set at 512Mb. I have run the P3 
   plugin and currently the eCommerce plugin is taking nearly 70%of all the resources
   leaving a very tight margin which causes the site to frequently stop working.
   I’ve reviewed the other plugins being used and with the exception of 1 which 
   is taking another 9% the remainder take very small amounts. Is this level of 
   resource normal or is there a way to get this down? Regards Mike

 * Hi Mike,
 * I have had a go with the P3 profiler on a local copy of one of my customer sites
   and it tells me that wpec is responsible for 96% of the load time. Not too surprising–
   wpec essentially *is* the site.
 * On the other hand you mention a memory limit – are you running into problems 
   there? My scan with P3 reports 35MB peak usage.
 * The real issue (if you are not running out of memory and getting white screens)
   is page render time – what is that like? Do you use a page cache?
