Hello Steven, You are right about this being a bug. It is caused by the redraw list control in the UI. Well, I think this is why it is caused, but I do not have this ftpd. When the UI uses the list control it takes up all available cpu cycles that it can at one time, so when a machine has allot of packets towards services that use list control, it will use allot of cpu cycles to use the list control. I hope this helps :)
