Job well done gents. It seems this release has resolved the slow-down issue with my Linksys WRT54G v2 (DD-wrt) router. I can finally leave the program running for as long as the PC is on without any detrimental effects to my VoIP and web browsing - my active IP ports are always less than 200 now as opposed to almost 800 with previous versions. BIG THUMBS UP!
