And I disagree. Some overlooked code in WordPress is the cause for being able to overload a server. While you may be able to flood the server with requests to slow it down/overload it, you can’t call a function that actually uses up CPU and memory to overload it.
All it takes is a handful of requests to essentially shut down a server.
