Hit my payout and then quite a bit of the next due to the larger payout with the low hash rate. I ended up staying on as I had a migraine most of the day and didn't feel like reconfiguring pools. So of course there is another long block.

Has anyone noticed wild up and down hash rate fluctuations on these long blocks? I was watching and when they were hitting the blocks the hash rate was very steady on the two miners I was using on Slush's, with the long block it started going up and down in wild swings in short intervals. I noticed this the last few times they've had a long block. This doesn't impact rejected work, I think I only had 24 rejects in the last 12hrs, but I did notice that my best share stats are considerably lower than typical.
