Server load problems with “rewriteengine” code – help?

    I am running WP 2.0.1 on a pretty busy site. My hosting company noticed that the following line of code was absolutely killing my server and slowing it down to a crawl:

    <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteBase /
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
    RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
    </IfModule>

    Does anyone know exactly what this code does? If I disable it, my server runs quite a bit better but it breaks the links to all of my secondary WP pages. What gives?

    I should mention that this cose is found in the .htaccess file…

    It’s the normal code wp uses to start its rewrite cycle for the permalinks you tell it to use.

    Is there a reason that it is causing such a huge load on the server and is there anything I can do to lighten said load?

    Thanks in advance,

    I don’t have an answer for that. It’s not causing a problem anywhere I’m using wp, and hasn’t so far as I’m aware. Sorry….
