Hi Harry, The number of 'Delay' messages in your log is very surprising to me. Looks like over half the entries are Delay messages: 32 air% grep Delay ldmd.log | wc -l 107518 33 air% cat ldmd.log | wc -l 205950 I've been running Larry Riddle's machine in debug mode for several weeks now. He has no Delay messages in over 14 hours worth of logging. I'm not sure what to make of this...
