Wicd takes a long time to refresh

Ok, I am not entirely sure what will be relevant to this inquiry, so I will wait a post to put up the needed logs or config files.

Right now, dbus, hal, wicd and wicd-client all load. The iwlagn module loads. The trouble is that Wicd started taking a long time (~3-5 minutes) to refresh the first time I open the client's gui. If I am in an area that snags a signal I have used before it loads it just fine usually before I can even get firefox to wake up and get it's fat a$$ moving when I first boot the comp.

The trouble starts when I am in a new wifi area, like school, where the signals are for networks not on Wicd's list. I have to open the gui to select the right one, but it just sits there blank for a long time. Once it refreshes the first time, it refreshes again in just ~20 seconds.

When I kill wicd-client and start it from terminal, all it says is ***refreshing***.

Any and all help would be greatly appreciated, and while it is an inconvenience, it's not crippling.
