Hmmm...if this is a long-running process it could cause some serious concurrency and/or blocking probs with the multiple threads in TG. Could this be your issue?
You might try using the TG scheduler to run this process. I haven't really used the scheduler yet, but it seems to me there should be a way to "schedule" a process to run almost immediately, and using the scheduler should get you outside the normal request cycle (thus avoiding many potential threading-related hazards). Anyone with more experience with the scheduler wanna double-check me on this?
