 	The wall-clock execution times aren't important to me, it make 
sense that a server doesn't respond for some amount of time, particularly 
if it is not a real server/spam whatever.
 	But, it shouldn't cause the CPU to go crazy just sitting there 
waiting for the request.  I will take a look at the plugin to see what is 
causing so much load.  (you hit 37% of the cpu usage today...)
