The people, from Real here, that monitor these lists are pretty busy  
right now getting demos
and talks ready for the Helix Summit starting next Monday.

I am gone that whole week as well.

But, from your description below, perhaps the loss of keep-alive, ping/ 
pong, packets are
causing the pauses. Maybe we try to send statistic packets and error  
out or something. In
either case, put break points in ReportRebufferStatus and Pause to see  
why/who it causing
the pauses.
