Btw, I know that this is not an isolated case. I've heard of this several times but haven't had any time to devote to figuring out why exactly it happens. Seems that when SOAP is run non-stop for a period of time it just starts to get mucked up and slows way down. I've taken to simply restarting the worker automatically everyday on my test box just to take care of this. I've heard of this from quite a few people.
