[Plugin: bbPress Live] Causes wordpress to hang

bbPress 1.0a2 + WP2.6.3 on PHP5, Apache 1x

My WP site ‘hangs’ too. The plugin doesn’t bring the db down as the template is displayed, but none of the content is displayed (besides content from remote sites). I killed it before my host killed me.

XML RPC is ‘allowed’ on WP and bbPress. The plugin settings are default/select all fora.

There is at lease one public post in one public forum available to display using the widgets.

I guess I should ask ‘the obvious’… does this plugin require bbPress+WP integration? Because I can not at this time, get the two to mate.
