It's not supposed to be normal, no.  However, this isn't exactly 
unheard-of.  I've made a number of modifications to address these kinds 
of issues over the last several years, and in all of *my* testing I was 
able to resolve them all, and no users were reporting of this problem 
continuing.  But, admittedly, I'm not surprised by it.

This wouldn't help, necessarily.  It'd just throw more CPU at the problem.

In order for me to get a handle on it, please run add "-a hh:mm" to your 
sendfax command-line where hh:mm represents a time 5-10 minutes into the 
future.  Tell me if you experience the same problems there.

I suspect that the problem you're having is with the job submissions, 
themselves, and not with the document preparation and not with the 
scheduler operating on the big queue.  I'd like to verify that by having 
you add "-a hh:mm".

Thanks,

Lee.
