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.<br>
<br>
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<br>
