Hello, I currently have a virtual dedicated server through Media Temple that I use to run several high traffic Wordpress blogs. Both tend to receive sudden StumbleUpon traffic surges that (I'm assuming) cause the server CPU to run at 100% and slow down everything.

I was testing it out in my controller and it worked fine, but when I moved the code into my Model, it isn't correctly parsing the data back from amazon.
