WP-Cache NoSymlink WordPress Plugin
There’re a lot of WordPress users, who want to install wp-cache plugin, but couldn’t do so, ‘coz, the original version of WP-Cache2 by Ricardo Galli, needs to create a symbolic link between the ‘wp-cache-pahse1.php’ file, and ‘advanced-cache.php.’ The creation of symlink requires access to shell or telnet, but many web hosting companies don’t allow shell / telnet access. To overcome the symlink problem, Torkil Johnsen’s has posted a solution, some people were able to get through, but some couldn’t do so. If you’re the one with no success, then here is a solution for you:

I downloaded and tested both the original WP-CACHE2 and the NoSymlink version and both give me the same error. A blank page at reload, sometime even a blank page at access. I wish there was a way to make it work, I've seen my site go from loading time of 4 seconds to half a second. Any suggestions?
Norman,
1. First of, WP-Cache isn't behind your execessive CPU usage, and it'll never be.
2. NoSymlink and WP-Cache are same, except NoSym is for those, who doesn't have access to shell.
3. The real culprits are either JS or some other plugins that you're running on your site. Check all one by one.
my host just gave me a warning that my site is using execssive cpu power. im currently helpless and suspects that wp-cache is the actual culprit i have Wordpress 2.2.1 i think i should disable wp-cache and use wordpress's built in cache system. im gonna give WP-Cache NoSymlink a try too.
