Well now... things have gotten interesting...
Mellow and I both upgraded to the latest version of the mod. That made BOTH sites start cranking out long queries... I was monitoring using mtop and was seeing multiple queries from both of our sites hitting from 1-6 seconds in length and it ran the server load up to a sustained average of 2.5 or so, when it normally is around .50 or less.
On a hunch, I removed the new version and the queries from my site stopped showing up on the mtop listing. I contacted Mellow and he removed it from his site. Since that time, there have been no queries over 1 second and the average server load is back down where it should be.
What is odd is that the old version (1.0.1) was working perfectly for me prior to the upgrade. I would reinstall it just to see what happens, but I deleted it from VB and now cannot find the old file I downloaded! DOH!
