This is like 88,000 times as against 3300 for the forum homepage. Now I have not promoted the pager system as yet and there are few if any pager messages appearing in the admin log so therefore people are not yet using it.

Why therefore is this page count so high? Is there something going on in the back ground that I am not aware of? I am considering uninstalling this feature due to my above observations as it makes me a little nervous. If someone could provide some insight I would be most appreciative, many thanks

It uses AJAX to poll the pager every 7 seconds or so by default. So, figure anyone who is visiting your site (and has pager access) will be "hitting" the pager.php file every X number of seconds the entire time they are on your site. This is normal behavior for this hack. And is also the source for a high level of CPU/SQL usage. You can adjust its polling interval and increase the time between checks in the AdminCP to reduce this.
