I upgraded my site to Expression Engine 2 over the weekend (from 1.6.3).  The upgrade went well, but since the upgrade, I’ve suffered near round the clock CPU throttling.  I went through the routine steps (database repair and optimize) and it did not help.  I checked the slow query log, and the following was present almost every time:

UPDATE `ex_online_users` SET `member_id` = 0, `name` = ‘’, `ip_address` = ‘188.143.232.202’, `date` = 1352910496, `anon` = ‘’, `site_id` = ‘1’ WHERE `site_id` =  ‘1’ AND `ip_address` =  ‘188.143.232.202’ AND `member_id` =  0

Sometimes taking more than 10 seconds.  I actually don’t care about this logging.  Can it just be disabled?

Also, the IP address in question is from Russia and would not be my usual traffic.  Is there a security measure I should take to block access?

Thank you,
Chris

I was able to find where to disable the online user tracking.

Hey there Bantha Skull,

Awesome! Glad you found it.

Is there anything else I can help with?

Cheers,

If you had a link handy for general EE performance tuning tips, I’d appreciate it.
