The p2p thing would make sense, and the elegius thing makes sense. So, yeah. It looks like a miner issue perhaps, not a pool issue effecting some people. =/ explains why I lost so much hash without explanation.
So would you say it's a minor miner issue?

Seriously though, that would be annoying. Maybe Kano will fix the S2 firmware, but I don't have high hopes for it at this time.
I have a normal hash rate on elegius. And on the other pools I have been testing with recently to figure out why I lose hash. I am one of the newer miners who has a host of S3, and being up to date on that thread. things make a bit more sense. Hopefully, if thats the issue its fixed soon, I really would like to mine on this pool with the others who have good success.
This also could explain why I coudn't get my miners hashing on nicehash either.
