Just to clarify. LMS is a single threaded application which has its own
internal scheduler - so it will only ever use one core.  If an LMS
plugin blocks LMS (e.g. bad error handling, waiting for a response for
something or doing heavy computation) - all of LMS will stop. If it
stops for a short while (couple of secs) - you could get rebuffering on
players that need transcoding as the player can only buffer a shorter
amount of Flac (i.e. transcoded aac). 

I have not had a recurrence of  the timeout.  About 2 weeks ago on Sat
afternoon - it happened very often and then went away. Last night it was
happening again when you reported your problem.  It "feels" to me like a
BBC network server issue but the effect on plugin is probably not really
a BBC error but an implementation artefact that needs to be sorted.
