Looks like my pool stats did report normally after a couple shares were submitted, and I was also paid the other missing shares after I had restarted p2pool. Now I have a couple of questions maybe you can help me out with:
I would like to have each miner use a non wallet address rather than configure each miner with the same address for better individual tracking. I figured this could happen a couple ways, 1 would be to create a new receiving address in the wallet for each miner, but that seems to wasteful. 2. I was thinking to set the pool fee to 100% and set the -a payout address and then configure miners with any textual username I prefer.
How would one do this will the least amount of effort?
Can you share that frontend your using? Im used to mining on slush's pool so I understand a little about variance. mdude77 I do indeed have new cgminer for s1.
Im still confused about the data on the homepage and if my data is normal for a newly configured p2pool, or if i need to look further into it. Here is the stats listed

I suppose most of my confusion is that with slushs pool i see shares coming in from my miners much more frequently than this and of course they state the average btc for current round as well. I feel im flying more blind with p2pool, especially with 0 as expected payout. The vanilla p2pool interface showed an expected payout number, even when pool was freshly fired up and went up/down as data came through.
I'm actively developing the front end on my site, it's still in beta and requires PHP and a DB to be set up on the node.... It does address some of your concerns about not being able to see shares after a restart... I posted some of the preliminary code
in this thread here if you want to check it out.
The expected time to share looks about right to me, here is one of my miners (2x S1), about double your speed, about 1/2 the expected time-to-share:
