 * I’m using P3 (Plugin Performance Profiler) to test which plugins are the most
   responsible for slowing my page loads and ASA comes in as the heaviest every 
   time.
 * Is this an accurate representation of ASA or a false positive, and if it’s accurate,
   what can I do to improve this?

 * I haven’t experienced any slowdown on my website. Is this happening in the backend?
   If it’s a front-end load delay, the problem wouldn’t be with the plugin but with
   the embedded iframes that you’re adding to your posts. Amazon Link works by using
   shortcodes that are automatically translated to iframe HTML code in the front
   end. If you’re experiencing slow load times, you could either try adding less
   image links to your posts, or use text links instead.
 * Unfortunately, you will get a lower commission with text links, but if your page
   loads are drastically be effected, people who are visiting your sites are probably
   leaving the page before it’s done loading. Using the text links will probably
   even increase your commissions in the long run.
