[Mapserver-users] Reloading WMS layers - timing question

I'm getting slightly confused by some WMS layer behaviour.
I've got numerous layers, one of which is wms (see map file snippits 
below).
The wms layer usually loads up within 4-5 seconds.  But I'm finding when I 
turn on other layers or zoom in while other layers are drawing, the wms 
layer doesn't appear.  There is also no time lag, so I know it's not even 
trying wms.  But if I request a redraw, it usually (not always) draws the 
wms layer then.

Is there something wrong with the format of my layer in the map file?
Has anyone else seen this behaviour?
