Comment(by nacin):

 Hi kevinB,
 Thank you very much for the helpful and detailed insights here.

 Using $wp_rewrite->flush_rules() is fine, in fact encouraged and necessary
 to do in many situations. Generally in a very basic plugin, you would set
 up your rules on activation and flush the rules then. You would also set
 up the rules on an early action such as init but not flush the rules. As
 long as you're setting them up each time, then if something else flushes
 the rules, your rules will be included in the rebuild. That is again very
 basic and without looking at Role Scoper I imagine there's more to it.

 Just judging from the symptom -- that it's tough to load this page on a
 half-decent internet connection -- it sounded like $wp_rewrite was being
 used incorrectly. (Hypothetically it seems even a perfect use of
 $wp_rewrite could cause a thread-safe issue seen in #11903.) That may be
 compounded with problems (#11903) hence why it didn't matter much whether
 it was closed as a duplicate or invalid. So that's all I meant.

 Accidental recursion happens :) I don't think any of us meant to
 characterize you or the plugin as dangerous. I haven't looked at the
 plugin, but I will do so at this point, and if I see anything I'll drop
 you a note, or if it's helpful to this ticket or #11903 I'll leave a
 comment.

 I think its safe to mark this as a duplicate of #11903 (perhaps different
 symptoms, but same fix) but we can leave it open for now.
