Could be sheer luck? At 1 hour delay, wouldn't they have found a block by then (on average)? Almost like jumping in blind...??
Ryo has a simulation where time slicing pays off:

is it really worth hopping btcguild? with the hour delay?.. how are you working out when to hop? are you just saying like 23% takes an hr and adjusting what you think the shares should be in reality bashed on their total mh?
With ryo's fork using dynamic penality, deepbit(backup) and btcguild(based on poolspeed it actually worked out positive jumping in even with the hour delayed stats). Im not going to discuss the efficiency level before someone spams btcg owner with this post. Lets just say its +EV so far.
