 * I’ll leave my previous response, only to suggest that the following support link
   was immediately successful in solving the problem.
 * [Limiting excessive Google Crawls](http://support.time.ly/limiting-excessive-google-crawls/)
 * The recommendation of adding the following code stopped the Google Bot within
   10 seconds of uploading the updated robots.txt file.
 *     ```
       Disallow: /calendar/action:posterboard/
       Disallow: /calendar/action:agenda/
       Disallow: /calendar/action:oneday/
       Disallow: /calendar/action:month/
       Disallow: /calendar/action:week/
       Disallow: /calendar/action:map/
       ```
   
 * I would really suggest that anyone experiencing high CPU usage try this solution
   first. It might even be worth mentioning this in an overlay during install and
   after updates. It really is likely the single largest factor in poor site performance
   due to heavy loads from unseen traffic.

 * Agreed. It took months to track down the issue, but after looking at average 
   CPU utilization we’ve identified the one website that was using AI1EC.
 * It’s a great program, but blocking bots is not a solution. Using WordFence, we’ve
   seen the GoogleBot consistently crawling for updates.
 * Hostname: crawl-66-249-74-130.googlebot.com 77 hits
    Hostname: crawl-66-249-74-
   137.googlebot.com 66 hits Hostname: crawl-66-249-74-128.googlebot.com 61 hits
   Hostname: crawl-66-249-74-139.googlebot.com 60 hits
 * This was over a 5 minute period. I think we’ll have to find a different solution
   as we don’t have time to rewrite the program to reduce bot loads.

 * Sorry, the WP version is 3.5 as stated above, not 3.4.2 as in the sidebar. I 
   saw that just as I was hitting submit.
