I use Tixati on a seedbox (~2500 total torrents, ~1000 active) but I use the machine for other things as well, and I have noticed that the program often freezes for a second or two every few minutes, but never outright crashes. There are also some DPC latency issues that cause hiccups on local media playback. Both issues seem to have gotten progressively worse as I have added more torrents. It doesn't appear to be an issue with disk access, and CPU usage shows no spikes when either issue occurs. Has anyone else encountered this issue? I am looking less for solutions and more to see if this is a known problem, (I suspect it may just be an issue with my OS install and some conflicting drivers.)

OP here - Under careful scrutiny, there may be a correlation between the freezes and when a DHT search is happening, though I can't be sure.
