I have set the EasySocial Notification Polling set to 60 secs. If a user has multiple tabs open, would that increasing the polling that many times? Or will it still be only 1 set of polling done doesnt matter how many tabs are opened?

I am experiencing very high CPU usage mainly due to php-fpm processes and right now I am trying to find out which queries are taking too long to execute. I was wondering if too many parallel requests from the user is possible causing CPU load and hence the above question.
Yes, if they open multiple tabs, the polling still happens on each page

oh. That could make sense on why my server got such a huge hit yesterday. Is there any way to limit this Mark - only 1 for that session - since request on each tab is not really ideal and can eat up server resources very quickly. A lot of users on my site who searches / read articles open like 6-10 tabs at a time and its insane. My server literally choked yesterday. What can be done for this Mark?

Unfortunately there is no work around for this and this is not really a limitation of EasySocial but just the way the web behaves.

Other than the notification polling, what other parallel requests can exists after the initial page load? Is it safe to assume that after the page load is completed, its going to be only these 3 polling done to the server on each tab for each interval and nothing else as far as ES is concerned?
