11843,htaccess pointing to wordpress makes CPU overload,cisoprogressivo,ryan,"On a fresh install of wordpress (with or without the default theme, with or without a fresh database) the load of my VPS is about 0.10/0.50 (it's a quite big website: 6000 unique visitors per day).
When creating the wordpress lines on my .htaccess the load goes up to more than 40/50 and the the VPS crashes.
This happens also if in Wordpress is not selected to use permalink (so if I past by myself the code in htaccess).
The code I'm talking about is:

{{{
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>
}}}

Also my hosting is investigatin without results.
