Its not normal to have high CPU usage because of this mod, it hardly uses any resources at all, it redirects right at page call so doesn't even allow your site to load for the banned list, however, if you have banned many things then they will be constantly redirecting, after a short while they will stop visiting your site.
I think you may have other issues going on here, it might be a point to hire Max or Ozzy to take a look at your site and get it optimized properly

I have a user agent showing up in a regular basis, often dozens at a time.
Code:
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:34.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/34.0

You can enter the entire string, that way you will only ban users with that exact useragent

Blocking that UA string WILL block legitimate people. It's nothing exotic, it's a Windows 8 computer with only about a year or so old version of Firefox. It's not unusual for people to not upgrade FF. Just something to think over.

Thanks for your reply.
All IPs resolve to China, Iran, Venezuela, Russia etc (at least the several dozen I have checked). I have yet to find one from the US, CA or AU (which are my primary audience). I often have 10-15 on the site at any given time.
