 * I noticed that sites run slower with this plugin turned on. Is there a way to
   test this and solve this matter? Thank you.

 * Hi,
 * It’s hard to say what’s exactly causing this without testing. But my first thought
   would be File Change Detection. You can disable that and see if it helps.
 * Thanks!
