Stales went way down on US West with the patch about an hour ago. Still having a very odd issue where the load balancer is spiking in CPU usage when running a block calculation, which is why you're getting idles.
I'm working on figuring out what about the calculation script is creating the problem. This is my absolute top priority, because we just got screwed out of blocks (2 invalids in a row) due to the server essentially going offline before it was able to report the blocks on the network. Same thing happened with the 2 invalids a couple days ago.
