which wordpress plugins cause high system resource suspension?

[daggius]

I have got suspended twice for high system resource usage. I am guessing it is the wordpress stats plugin that is using a lot of cpu but thought one of you guys might know better. Thanks

Here are the wordpress plugins I am using:

Adsense Injection Inserts Adsense into your blog without a log of ******* around.


Akismet
Akismet checks your comments against the Akismet web service to see if they look like spam or not. You need a WordPress.com API key to use it. You can review the spam it catches under "Comments." To show off your Akismet stats just put <?php akismet_counter(); ?> in your template. See also: WP Stats plugin.


Exec-PHP
Executes <?php ?> code in your posts, pages and text widgets.


Random Posts widget
Display Random Posts Widget. Based on Random categories with random posts by Mike Stickel.


WordPress.com Stats
Tracks views, post/page views, referrers, and clicks. Requires a WordPress.com API key.


WP Authors

I think random post is the one you are trying to find...

Doesn't the

Exec-PHP
Executes <?php ?> code in your posts, pages and text widgets.

pluggin allow users to inject code into your wordpress like

while (1) {}

That would cause high resource usage?

Just an idea.

no, the php one just lets the author (me) use php in posts (it doesnt work in comments)

why do u think it is the random post one ?

the only one i think that really does a lot of calculation is the stats one. but that's also the most essential. so i really dont wanna get rid of it

guess it depends on how the random post works, if it just queries your database for a random post, given some conditions is filled, I don't see why that would cause any higher resource usage then displaying the posts normally.

At first glance none of the listed ones does seem to be the cause.
