The gg client itself seems to be working well enough. Wish I saw more connections though, I'm usually seeing them in the low 20's. I think the highest I've seen is 29. With the .24 bitcoind I normally see over 100. Running Ubuntu 10.10 x64 on a single core AMD.
There just aren't that many gg nodes running. As soon as an exchange goes up then I'm sure you'll start seeing a lot more connections.
