Thanks Steve,
Yes we already tried this :)

Unfortunately because we are using multi cored servers, theres going to 
be a big performance hit running it in single thread mode.

We will have to do this if the issue isn't resolved though *sigh*

This has only happened in the last month or so, I remember everything 
running fine before then.
