Just got a statement on luck in the mail (newsletter).  Online version: https://mining.bitcoin.cz/mailing/newsletter/ee6e9ec82dac/

Too little too late imo, been at Antpool since 19th June, tired of the up and downs, this last down was the nail in the coffin for me at Slush.
Especially after seeing "Please note our core systems have not been touched in months."
This absolutely does not fill me with energy and confidence in regards to Slush.

Once again slow to move and upgrade,  ultimately it just looks like the Slush management are slow to move everytime and that hurts miners.

I'm probably mis-reading you, but are you saying that Slush's management have been slow to correct the luck - you know that's not going to happen, yes? You know that the reason you're rewards are closer to normal at a big pool is that you're at a big pool and hence less variance?

Finally, if you do move to a large pool because of variance then you're doing exactly what other miners did when they moved to GHash.IO because of variance on smaller pools - they increased network centralisation significantly.
