At times it seems I'm not getting enough work and/or not getting work in a timely manner. Is there some kind of bottleneck?

I say this because sometimes my hash just disappears from the main stats page. While cgminer doesn't DC or go into failover mode the timestamps are clearly showing some gaps.

While running load balance between middlecoin (24ms) and another pool (200+ms) I noticed the other pool always having the work priority on both rigs despite 8x the latency.

To be fair though I need to run these comparisons between 2 auto switching  pools and will test against multipool when I get the cryptsy autosell api working.
