Rainer - Thanks for the ccMacBytes info.

I've set ccMaxBytes:=1
It DOES seem to help some, the episodes still happen - but not as often.
Just watched two (2) episodes occur, only 75 seconds and 60 seconds.

Hans - Thanks for your input, guess I'm not alone.
If my server doesn't clear up, I'll have to go back to 1.3.2 like you  
did.

Fritz - Looking at logs, I've noticed these in the logs

Each one takes about 20 seconds - should I see this many?
Probably not related to my problem?

Doug - checking my logs, looks like the lookups are happening pretty  
quickly:

and URIBL looks similar - seems OK

Thanks for your suggestions guys,
