 would run for 10 sec and block for 20 sec with CPU use on 0, then run 
 again for 10 sec, etc. Disabling live METAR data would make this go 
 away. I presume this only happens if the connection to the METAR server 
 times out, but would be highly annoying to any user.

Yep, this is known, I'm working on a fix, but the first attempt to commit it 
caused other problems - working on fixing the issues at the moment.

Hi James,

Thanks for that. I just wanted to report it in case noone did yet.

Cheers,
Vik
