Completely agree some more juice would be nice, but only in the sense that it would reduce variance. A key concept to grasp is that a higher pool hash rate does not have a long term impact on a given miners earnings, it simply reduces variance and smooths out a miners income. The exception is when a block is not found during a given difficulty increment, right now our luck is not great, and this may prove to be the case, however the only thing I know about luck is that it's bound to change....
