Oh, as a note: tons of stales is fine. If the network difficulty is 2,000, you can expect, on average, to need 2,000 difficulty-one shares. The miner submits every difficulty one share, and when it is rejected it counts it as a stale. If you see your stales around 3x the difficulty with no accepted blocks, then you might have a problem. Just let the miner run.
I'm running 99.93% stale the .07% are found blocks. ~15,0000 shares completed
