SPAD & Saitek Panels - P3D v2.5

Hey all-

Quick question.  I recently finished my P3D v2.5 + Hotfix upgrade.

Everything works as I would expect (most of the time).  I am having an issue with the SPAD controlled devices lagging severely behind the actual inpul or not responding at all.

I have AffinityMask=15 in my config.

I have found if I kill the process "PanelsIO" and SPAD and then restart SPAD (0.5.1) that everything will return to normal.  I am trying to track down why I get this initial hang from PanelsIO to begin with.  Any thoughts on what I can try to get the startup process to be a little more smooth?
