PowerFLARM choking on too many targets?

I have had the same problem with FlarmView. Noticeable when many targets are around. e.g. in the start cylinder and then once out on course with fewer targets, it returns to normal behavior. Frustrating as it essentially becomes useless as a display while it is exhibiting this rapid cycling between the splash page and the default start page. My setup is PowerFlarm core- S80 (DB9) and FlarmView (RJ45)- Avier XCSoar (through the S80). No problem with the GPS signal from the core.
Do people with this problem have PCAS alarms on or off? I had a similar problem last year and it seemed to be related to gliders with Flarm and Transponder operating.
BTW, there needs to be a way on Flarmview to tone down the PCAS warnings in thermals. If I'm flying with gliders with operating transponders I have to turn the PCAS off entirely or I spend 100% of my thermalling time turning off the alarms. I've tried different FlarmView settings to no avail so I've been reduced to setting the config on the PowerFLARM to turn PCAS off.
