I don't know if it is my luck or general but I send around 40 cents to a dice website and paid 4 cents for it to go and right now it has been 3 hours or so and it hasn't arrived. 0.0001 was default fee that I 'should' pay if I want everything to be fast , I paid the 0.0001 that is basically taken from me by force (if I don't pay it it may take days!) and still takes more then 3 hours?
Bitcoin transactions becoming more and more like western union with miners fee.
I would guess your dealing with a lot of dust type payments. When your talking about lot's of transactioons and amount is for cent's... yes dust is not so great.
I look at sending in a larger sense though as I don't gamble or do really any tiny payment's that I can think of. Gambling I don't see the fun in on most of it.
