 * I uninstalled WordPress Popular Posts plugin because it is getting slow lately.
   By digging to my database, I found that the table wp_popularpostsdatacache which
   is part of WordPress Popular Posts plugin is betting big. Currently it has 3,501,405
   rows with 160.7 MiB used space.
 * I am thinking that this cache was not purge because I am using nginx instead 
   of apache. This happens to me on my Drupal site also. But I cannot confirm this.
   So, do you think this is because of nginx? If not, why it is getting bigger and
   bigger? It seems that the record there is not deleted.
 * I am using using “Last 24 hours” option in Time Range option of this plugin. 
   So I think a record of yesterday will be deleted automatically. But this is not
   the case.
 * Any idea about this?
