Is it just me or is the hash rate from the server way down? Is this due to the DDOS and move to Amazon's EC2? It's about 25% slower than it should be. Is this being addressed? Also the latency is really high. I'm using Bfgminer. Are there any tweaks I should be making to the command line like a higher or lower queue length that will help? I'm already using these switches --no-submit-stale and the --queue (or -Q) is 1 by default.
Huh

Don't know if it's a similar problem, but I had a network restart here recently and the usual block difficulty I get is 50-60, but now 3-15 and not all the ASICs in my cubes are even active - I suspect the server is allocating work too slowly - I'll try a ticket to the pool.

I have filed a ticket as well. It looks like the problem is that the Amazon EC2 server itself is located in Tokyo, Japan. This would explain a lot. I'm loosing hashes to horrible, horrible latency. Any word on a US deployed Amazon EC2 server? I'd hate to have to switch pools because of lag...

Rebooted proxy machine & restarted proxy and magically back on track could have been a windows update problem - was very slow to reboot machine after updates applied.
