In reply to Reid.

Hi Reid,

Have you had the chance to open a support ticket yet? We would love to take a closer look at your specific issue and address any performance issues where possible. If you are upgrading from an older version (especially one prior to 2.6), then a lot has changed in the Divi Builder, and it's quite possible that progression in other areas have caused the overall increase in CPU usage you are experiencing. I think the symptoms you are experiencing might be due to a change we made to ajax requests in 2.6.4 which is unrelated to this vulnerability and was actually put in place to reduce peak PHP memory usage. Either way, a closer look and additional information would help us optimize things for you. You can open a new support ticket here: https://www.elegantthemes.com/forum/
