Comments are turned off for the time being
Due to the sheer volume of people trying to post comment and trackback spam, I have disabled these features for the next day or two until my ISP and I can work out a better way to filter these little turds out.
Right now I am getting several hundred attempts (with zero successes) but my processing is being done late in the chain so there is a large CPU overhead involved. My ISP is looking at dealing with them much earlier so there is a much lower overhead.
Looking at my raw logs, I'm seeing several attempts per second.
Even before I disabled the comments and trackback they were 100% pure FAIL but CPU time is CPU time and the more efficient I get, the better...
