Wow, took forever to catchup. Looks like I'll need to merge in two methods of calculating round duration and pool speed. I have a different pools.cfg setup that works for re/json, as well as a time averaged estimate, rather than a point in time, which tends not to be very accurate. Borrowing from ryo's initial impl, I believe typically the estimates aren't "shared" until at least 5 minutes (or more) have passed (should probably be done on a per pool basis)...

All the LP work looks interesting, not sure how much relevant some of the slicing schedulers will be once that gets perfected...
