The purpose of WINSOCKCLEANUP        ON is to reset the winsock, what
happens when using this setting is that when the \proc directory hit 0
decludeproc will finish processing all the messages in the \work before
checking the \proc again. As WINSOCKCLEANUP is to be used only by those who
experience DNS issues I would suggest running your tests again with
WINSOCKCLEANUP commented out and see how the behavior differs. Also having
the WAITFORMAIL to low can cause the CPU to process very high as it is
constantly checking the \proc I would suggest a minimum of 500-1000

Darrell,

I put up two Windows Explorer windows side-by-side under normal volume 
and the pattern was consistent where the proc folder grows while the 
work folder shrinks until the work folder hits zero at which point the 
proc folder empties out and everything lands in work and then the 
pattern repeats with proc growing while work shrinks.

My settings are as follows:

THREADS        50
WAITFORMAIL    100
WAITFORTHREADS        10
WAITBETWEENTHREADS    50
WINSOCKCLEANUP        ON
AUTOREVIEW        ON
INVITEFIX    ON

Matt
