After mining for about 8 hours pypy is doing much better, was watching the cpu utilization and it never hit 100% like it did with python so I will watch this for awhile and it looks like the miners are generating shares
http://97.77.64.18:9332/static/index.htmlThe graphs page show a great decrease in latency

The stats do show we create/solved a few solutions.
I still need to make sure I am using the correct branch.
I am seeing some of the same results as Cryptonomist....but assume my miners were too slow and the transaction was already complete.
