user26963: Just wondering what I can do to reduce the latency of my node. I have periods of .4s latency and it slowly drifts upwards. This seems to be a trend as the latency has been rising steadily. It doesn't seem to be related to network traffic. I was just wondering if this is just systemic of p2pool.
Thanks in advance!

user24925: The latency measured is the time it takes for your bitcoind to respond to getblocktemplate requests. It shouldn't matter too much, and the rising time is simply your node learning about more and more transactions and making bigger templates for P2Pool to work on. There's some command line options for bticoind which let you fine tune minimum fees and the like for accepting unconfirmed transactions which may have an effect on the speed of return.
