 * well i just had a malware issue and have not moved over to my new host. i moved
   over my database and did a fresh install of wp and a few plugins i use and my
   theme. i now keep getting super slow loads on my pages. sometimes even timing
   out. i also get spikes in cpu usage as well as sudden php process spikes. never
   had this issue with my last host not sure if it is my host (godaddy) limiting
   my usage or if this is still remnant of the malware? i have run several scans
   and plugins and none fine malware on my site. any ideas on what may be up?

 * strange thing is that it will spike on cpu usage and then drop back to zero makes
   me think malware but every scan i run comes back with nothing

 * is there a way to track what the php processes are? they will shoot up to 6 and
   then drop to 0 or 1. if i could decode what they are maybe i could backtrack 
   to the cause

 * not sure how it works but the content folder is listed at 4kb in the file view
   but there are items inside it larger than that. would this have an impact?

 * I recently ran into high CPU usage warning from my host (HostGator). They almost
   suspended my account and the website was loading super slow. I found that even
   with Comments disabled from the WordPress settings, bots can access Comments 
   and ping it or post messages. Someone pinged the Comments close to 100 times 
   in one minutes hence a a very high CPU usage and extremely slow site loading 
   time.
 * To fix the problem, I removed two lines
 *     ```
       <?php comments_template( '', true ); ?>
       <?php comments_template(); ?>
       ```
   
 * from the theme’s code.
 * So your problem could be same as mine. It wasn’t a malware but simply pingging
   the Comments by some bot.
 * I have no idea why WordPress Developers at Automattic don’t include a method 
   to get rid of Comments completely. Probably because each theme developer place
   the code in different .PHP pages. But I think they should standardize it and 
   add a quick way to remove it.

 * is there a way to see if that is the issue prior to making this type of change?
