Can you paste the code to remove here? I'd appreciate it, thanks!

Here is the default vbookie_main template .. the code to be remarked out (or removed) is in BOLD/RED.

What this does is prevent members from selecting the SETTLED vbookie items from the drop down so that the system does not lock up. Since doing this, I've not had any site performance issues related to vbookie.

<!-- vbookie welcome --> 
<table class="tborder" cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" cellspacing="$stylevar[cellspacing]" border="0" width="100%"> 
        <tr align="center">
          <td class="thead" width="40%"><span class="smallfont">$vbphrase[welcome_to_the_bookie]</span></td> 
          <td class="thead" width="40%"><span class="smallfont">$vbphrase[bookie_news_and_events]</span></td> 
        </tr> 
        <tr align="center"> 
          $welcomeblock
          <td class="alt1" width="40%" valign="top">$bookienews</td> 
        </tr> 
      </table>

<!-- /vbookie welcome --> 

<!-- small space --> 
<span class="smallfont"><br /> 
</span> 
<!-- /small space --> 

<!-- bet items  --> 
<form action="vbookie.php" method="get">
<table class="tborder" cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" cellspacing="$stylevar[cellspacing]" border="0" width="100%"> 
        <tr align="center"> 
          <td class="thead" colspan="6"><phrase 1="$type">$vbphrase[currently_showing_x_events]</phrase>  $vbphrase[switch_to] 
		  <select name="type">

		  </select>
		  $vbphrase[events]
		  <input type="submit" class="button" name="selecttype" accesskey="g" value="Go" style="font-weight:normal" tabindex="1" /></td>
        </tr> 
        <tr align="center"> 
          <td class="thead">$vbphrase[item]</td><td class="thead">$vbphrase[group]</td><td class="thead">$vbphrase[status]</td><td class="thead">$vbphrase[added]</td><td class="thead">$vbphrase[open_until]</td><td class="thead">$vbphrase[payouts_after]</td>
        </tr> 
        $betitembits

$pagenav
</form>
<!-- /bet items -->

Just comment out (or remove) this ...

<option value="SETTLED">$vbphrase[event_settled]</option>
