Well the changes seem to be making the server more stable but I have one question should we we changing coins this much?

We start at diff 40                        00:24:33 PST
Block was Found                           00:24:33 PST
Diff 40                                        00:24:37 PST
Block was found                           00:24:37 PST
Diff changes to 3.37K                     00:25:13 PST  (Total time between diffs = 40 seconds)
Block was found                            00:25:13 PST
Diff changes to 214                        00:25:25 PST (Total time between diffs = 12 seconds)

That just seems like it is a bit much for changing when there is a total of 52 seconds between 3 coin changes (this is just a small example of what I have been seeing over the course of the last few hours)

I am running on middlecoin.com:3333 with a ping time of around 28ms to the server

Don't get me wrong I can't argue with the stability I am just curious as why we would switch coins that fast, I would think there would be around a 5 - 10 minute hold on a particular coin before switching.

Our last diff was 214 which started at 00:33:39 PST and ended on 00:43:37 PST at which time it switched to diff 193, total time between coin changes 9 minutes and 58 seconds - This seems more like the range it should be, just not sure why other times it changes so fast (might be a bug in the switching  algorithm or the calculation algorithm for figuring out which is the most profitable coin)

just an observation that I am seeing with the new changes and wanted to point it out.
