Latest-- 2.6.34.x seems to fix the issue, no lag whatsoever, the system is very responsive when running rss2email, again no lag, have run 10-15 tests without a single incident. I also re-enabled msi and put my optimization script back in init.d, everything continues to work perfectly. Will wait for Adam on what went wrong with the 2.6.35 3w-9xxx update.
