I used to mine here at p2pool about six to nine months ago. I'm considering coming back and I have a couple of questions. I am using Ubuntu 12.04.
4: My latency is about .3s, that seems high should I be concerned about that and start tuning a little or is that acceptable?[/b]
Thanks,

BTW: The conversation going on beneath my post is the same one that was going on six months ago just different people.....BORING
+1!! You said it dude - the same old argument, on & on, never stops. This is not a p2pool support thread anymore(?) - there is no support - just bickering about the same shit. It should be renamed the "I'm right - your wrong argument thread" instead.......

PS: 0.3 is OK dude

everything between 0.2 and 0.5 is OK. even 0.7 is ok if efficiency is round 100%.
going lower is just contra productive: you will get less fees and don't win anything.
Low latency is not the most important thing and tuning it very much down can bring many other problems like low shares, to high memory usage etc.
