I'm gonna have to agree that this should be a top priority issue.
Having 3>8 hours added to your current task EVERY day is beyond annoying.I'd rather see the combine down for 2 weeks to fix this rather than continue on as is.
If the admins took SWC down until everything worked perfectly, you would be waiting quite a long time. It is the nature of a game coded on the admins' free time and goodwill, especially one operating as an open alpha or beta, that things will go wrong. That said, they are aware of this issue and are pursuing possible solutions.

I dare you to make less sense.
Are you a newbie, or do you have access to newbies?
Ya,I know.Much appreciation for the efforts of all those involved.
This issue, in it`s current incarnation, has really surfaced only recently.Perhaps the last 2>3 weeks have been plagued by timers needing to be restarted after almost every daily backup.
