Host Reports High CPU Use

[Robulosity2]

So,

I dropped an installation of 3.0 RC1 onto a sub domain on my hosting account, and now tell me that index.php is chewing up far to much CPU time and Utilization. My thoughts are that it's probably something with how they're dealing with IonCube or a configuration problem with PHP (Safe Mode is Off) below is what the host sent me... Any suggestions as to the root cause as this was occuring with 2 concurrent connections... (myself and google) Seem's to go away in performance mode

you and many others have this complaint. are you on shared hosting? Im not making excuses or anything but newer scripts are known to use more server resources as they have more features that use more processes.

Key missing data there is server 'load'. You php process using 98% CPU is absolutely nothing for them to worry about if server load is low. Load is an indication of how many other processes are waiting for CPU. If there are none, or very few, then what's the problem with you using what is there?
