It's been like that since the bots took over.
What do you want, it's an electronic currency, we should be grateful bots even allow us humans play with their currency, too But as soon as the ultimate GPU farm is built, we won't be needed anymore. I'm not saying anything negative about the bots! If you can't beat em, join em. I'm on an active hunt for a good bot to play with. I don't want to start one from scratch.

I'm sorry, Joel Katz did the patching, not Jeff Garzik, oops! Unrealistic advantages: all network communication was local
I'm glad you mentioned the above. While latency and bandwidth is usually not the bottleneck of a pool server, virtual networking is almost unlimited compared to a typical WAN link. Not to downplay your development and testing or anything! Very good info here! I'm a little bit confused as to the new bottleneck you got to. Are you saying bitcoind is your bottleneck? If so, that's why Joel Katz hacked on it. A month ago the large pool operators were screaming at pushpoold as the bottleneck, including Eleuthria with his awesome experiments and communication with his members. Then some people started to discover it was actually bitcoind, hence the patches. With all due respect, I hope you aren't trying to scale the wrong side of the puzzle. It may be faster than pushpoold, but all for naught if bitcoind can't feed the monster.

One of my cards stops in the same manner and I just live with stop/start method. Annoying...and it shows MH/s in the summary screen like it's alive while it's actually frozen.

I think the more important question is what happens to your old orders if the bot can't communicate all of a sudden? What if you had risky orders placed that are now set to lose a lot of money because the market is constantly changing? I guess you could just log in the MtGox and cancel, but we are relying on millisecond response times here, right?
