Hmm very strange, i know when we used a VPS we never had any problems, even when we were using a more server intensive version of the shoutbox.
A new version of the shoutbox pro using AOP to massivley reduce server load will be released in the next day or two, but i don't think we'll be making a new lite version any time soon unfortunately.
Occasionaly people do have issues with the shoutbox server load, but that's almost exclusivley on shared hosting.
If you throw me a PM on the itech site, i'll try to get you hooked up with a test copy of the new version, if it runs ok on your server you can purchase it, if not, you can delete it =)
