 * A URL request made by Contact Form 7 with this in the URL:
 * ?_wpcf7_is_ajax_call=1&_wpcf7=227&_wpcf7_request_ver=
 * is taking over 3 seconds to run, significantly slowing down loading of my whole
   site. Slower than the other 50 requests combined :/
 * What is this request for? How can I fix this?
 * THX!

 * When I google searched for this problem, I saw 1 other reports of it also, but
   it wasn’t answered.
 * I figured out that this script is just for re-filling the form captcha/quiz which
   I am not using so I just hacked the plugin to remove the call completely. So 
   my problem is solved.
