The issue that I am having is very weird... my script will run only 
sometimes... the majority of the times looks like it just *hangs* and is 
very slow..
once in a while mostly when I have not try in 1m or more.. then it runs 
the first time I run it.. to go again into the *weird* status that will 
only run once in a while...

why?
anyone had the same issue?
work around?
bug?
I will post portion of my code if needed but seen that it does works 
sometimes makes me think it must be something else.
help!!!

Thanks for your help in advance.
Chris
