PHP Jquery time bandwidth
<p>I'm new with Jquery and payed someone to developed a script for me. I notice when I add this script to my website my bandwidth jumps from 1mb's to 5mb's. I have a lot of users on so it leaves me to believe the Jquery part is refreshing to quickly. My question is what do I need to change so it will stop using so much bandwidth in the script below.</p>

<p>Thank you!</p>
