It still sounds very mysterious. 34MB isn't really that big, I would suspect something else is going wrong. Could it be you are getting a time-out, maybe on the database connection? Maybe not being the foreground process makes it get less of the CPU cycles (assuming some other process also wants them). Anyway, thanks for the update, and good luck with it. :)
