over 200 threads running - more info

[Steve Hooker]

What and where will be difficult to guess from a distance. You may want 
to dig into the Mainresponder.root threads too at 
mainResponder.background.everyMinute. But strange you say every few 
minutes not every minute.

Perhaps you may think about your DNS and tcp.httpclient. There's a line 
in that script that goes something like this, "Turn our worst case into 
our best case." Perhaps 'something' like the aggregator is trying to get 
local feeds and failing. Whatever it is, each thread, because of some 
DNS mistake will take an extremely long time to time out. Hope this helps
