Enabling script now for some reason throws server load to 10-20+ about timthumb HOT 3 CLOSED

Is there no support happening here?

I am afraid this isn't a support forum, it's for reporting bugs - I do this as 
a hobby so only help when I have the time.

As for your problem, I am not sure I can help without more information. I don't 
know what has been added or changed that might have increased the server usage 
to the degree you are suggesting. For the script to change in the way you 
suggest something must have changed on the server. Have you updated the script? 
Changed directory permissions? Installed new software? Without knowing what has 
changed I can't really work out where the problems lie.

If you could go through the script and and make it die and then watch cpu usage 
you should be able to find where the problem lies. Add a die() command near the 
start of the script, and then slowly move it down the script until the cpu 
usage spikes. You will then know what the slow bit comes from.

I think I found the problem. Unfortunately I had committed the code with 
caching disabled. Stupid mistake and I apologise for that :S

Should all be fixed now
