Hello Scott. A. I see some kind of *Kaboodle pulls 100-percent of CPU* when Kaboodle rebuilds a NID topology only. That may be a result of own LAN-discovery, or a result of partner's NID updating. In both these events Kaboodle always deletes all devices and creates new devices. At 15 Jule I wrote about that http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?thread_id=892614&forum_id=7057 I'll try implement devices recreating if new NID data contains really new data only.
