    i think i finally figured it out.........

    had an issue with swing meter being skippy and jerky

    most of us play from the main menu. if you have a wgt window open that

    is running banner ads or ads that change or refresh while you are playing

    your meter is going to be erratic....i always open up at my profile page and

    a new window opens when i click play now...if there is a banner ad or an active

    ad running i change the page to either contact us or jobs, one that has less

    active advertising....some ads have an  (x) box at upper right corner to disable

    the ad...since i found this i have had no problem with erratic meter, no matter

    what time day or night, high or low traffic times...easiest way to tell if ads are

    active is that you'll notice web addresses activating in the lower left of your screen

    hope this helps

    For your meter's sake its best to have only one browser window open and that's the game client.  Especially close any additional WGT windows.  Regardless of ads, WGT still has flash running in forum windows.  That box in the upper left of a WGT window is a flash file and it's receiving friend updates while you play in the game client.
