Having this set to "FALSE" by default, without any warning, really kills a server. Apache starts spawning more and more instances of itself, and eventually this timezone "slow down" just caused my server to lockup.

I am fairly certain it was this one and only module, that was causing lockups. Soon I will be running PHP 5.2 so it will be a non issue, but please set this to TRUE by default and if someone wants it the other way, they can sacrifice the performance, KNOWINGLY.

You are mistaken. The default behavior is the same behavior that has been used by the module for a long time and changing the default will break things for many people. The new option is to offer a way to use some less-intensive processing selectively on sites where it works. I see on your other thread that changing this didn't fix your problem, so obviously this is not the problem.

Since this was a support request, I was attempting to resolve my server issues. Things have stabalized since then, but I still suspect calendar+date+repeating events is a recipe for a server hang (see in other support request as mentioned).

Sorry about jumping the gun here. Initially this seemed to help subside my server hanging, but ultimately you are correct it didn't do a thing. I have it set to TRUE still, and things are fine.
