Yep, and I will say it again so pyra might see it, we need to move to eligius.
No we don't... variance... it'll even out... and the positives for staying on a decentralized system, outweigh the risks of centralizing on pools.
Don't get so uptight about the variance. We're fine.
Make yourself a hat out of tinfoil if it makes you feel better.

I am not the tinfoil hat type.
I would be fine with the variance but its getting worse. We are now at over 5 days with no block found with difficulty jumping another 20% in 2 days.
Look back at my post history, I was arguing from your POV when he first brought it up, but now its not worth the benefits when this p2pool node is not growing in relation to the network. Plus, when we do find a block we will have to wait for 120 blocks before pyraminings back end doles out earnings. Its time for eligius.
I'll say it again, move the new hardware to eligius asap. The sooner the better.
Why are you so against moving to eligius? Its 0% fee, steadier payouts because its 1/8th of the network and they merge nmc. Why is eligius so terrifying to you?
