#2742: Trackback spam causes CPU usage too high

I have been battling this problem for a while now. A Blue host engineer
states it is the way WP-trackback is accessed not ending the transmission
quick enough and recommended a mod_rewrite plugin to block TB spam:

solution/
He said he has seen it before and has seen good results, I have just
installed it. This is something that must be addressed because TB spam is
regularly making my blog go over a 20% CPU usage. I have seen other
problems with cpu usage mentioned in the support areas with no solutions.
I have both badbehavior and spam karma installed, it doesn't matter. bad
behavior still lets quite a bit through.
I am running 2.0.2.
Thank you.
