Hello Rob,
Thank you for looking into this.
I have 1,331 events published, pending 0, draft 0, trash 11. I do not have any events over 10 weeks old. I deleted almost 2 years of old events trying to lighten the information.
Right now I am not using the Pro so the recuring events are a small number. I can not say how many exactly but I would guess under 10.
We are working on the site now and when I can get our techs to reinstall Pro we will get you the System Info you requested.
This is the information I sent to Julie on November 2.
The Events Calendar
You need to upgrade!

Not sure if that is what you are asking for.Hello Rob,
Below is from the host/webmasters:
“The issue is definitely not hosting related as we’ve now tried two completely different hosting setups (one with their old hosting company and how one on a brand new system in our own facility) and both have shown the same, major slowdown issue as soon as Pro is enabled. On this new system, which currently only has the Samara site on it so we could test the issue, the server load will be nominal (about .30 or less) until Pro is enabled, and within about 10-15 seconds the server load will go up well past 1.10 and keeps climbing. At one point it hit over 10.00. The SQL process on the server jumps up to about 40% of the CPU capacity. In 15 years I haven’t seen something like this on any other site or system, but it’s a direct result of enabling the Pro calendar. The system is an 8 core Xeon with hyperthreading to 16 processors running CentOS 6. We have other systems like this with numerous WordPress, Joomla, and other sites all running concurrently, but the server load on them consistently stays lower than this new system with just the Samara site and the Pro plugin. PHP settings are also quite liberal – 128MB memory and so forth – well higher than the old system they were on.”Hello Rob and Julie, We had our website pros install the new Pro3.2 release and it was the same issues as Pro3.1. Any other suggestions or ideas?
Ps. Rob, The tutorials are informative. ThanksAh one more note, the loads times are effected site-wide for pages. We were surprised to see the hit outside of the events page but we do.
Just an update we have moved our site to a dedicated server and still encountering an enormous server load from calendar pro. We’ve tested for a theme conflict and can rule that out completely. Without Event Calendar our server load is consistently less than 10%. After Event Calendar standard is activated it upticks to 30% the real problem starts when pro is activated it climbs steadily and ultimately ends up at 100%. What’s going on? We’ve isolated this to clearly be the Event calendar. Side note month view is clearly a main source of the problem in a list view it stays more manageable.
Julie, as a side note, since I can not use Pro I do not have the repeat feature. The other day I spent HOURS loading up December-April with over 750 events. they were there. other people have read the calendar for March and there were events. today day i looked and the events are missing, i started to reload the events but stopped to bring this point up. I don’t want to reenter these and have them go missing again. I am the only one updating teh calendar at this time.
Thank you so much for writing me Julie,
I do hope that when we make the server change it will solve our issues.In the mean time I am preparing for a worst case scenario trying to learn as much as I can.
Yes, I am using windows.
The new server company is also our new developer giving them access and control to track issues.Julie is this the information you are asking for?

Wordpress.org Plugin PageThank you again and we are looking forward to your reply,
ChristopherThank you for replying Barry. I am learning as I go along here trying to solve this issue. I as told my memory is unlimited. No mentino of a settings, I will ask again. Do you have a suggestion of what this number should be? Thank you again.
Thanks
I am using a shared hosting and am considering upgrading. Still are there any options that would make this lighter? For example could we request a modification or even pay for a modification that loads the calendar view by week rather than by month? That way the page would only load a week of events rather than a month. many days have about 30 events per day so a month is a very long page anyway.Thanks for your reply
I disabled all of the plugins and changed the theme to twenty ten and still had the same problem. I agree it is as if the server is timing out. We do have a huge volume of events (12,000 events are loaded) as it is a calendar for the whole town and surrounding area. Would it make a difference if the sizes of images associated with events were smaller, or do you have any other suggestions to avoid the timing out and speed up loading? I may also try changing hosting. What is your advice?
