I know this is a bit old, but welcome to the club.. Happens a lot to me.
Funny thing, it can really affect the system if You are getting
hammered. One time It brought my WC system to a crawl. I had to go back
to synchronet as it somehow could handle the load until things got back
to normal. Wildcat just buried itself and bogged down.
