Last night FSX suddenly started running extremely sluggish of most, but not all planes. Oddly enough, the one that ran the smoothest was my MilViz F-86. I had just reinstalled the Section8 F-86 and was trying to run that when it go so slow and sluggish that I had to bring up the task manager to shut FSX down. When I did that, I saw under applications: "Microsoft Flight Simulator X with Wideserver: waiting for clients". What the heck is wideserver? I don't remember ever seeing that before and I am wondering if that is what is slowing my machine down. How do I get rid of it?

WideServer is a part of FSUIPC. It is required if you have fsx add-ons running on a networked computer. It will let the programs on that computer communicate with FSX on a different computer through WideClient and FSUIPC.
I seriously doubt that that is the cause of your problem.
