Please Help - Lots of dead on P2Pool.

[Einewton]

I've been on P2Pool for only 5 days now, and in the last 24 hours I've received a surge of dead shares...

On the P2Pool wiki it states "Very high dead rates can indicate miner misconfiguration.".. Does anyone know what exactly it means by mis-configuration? When setting my miners up, I try to keep the rejected shares under 7% and if it get's higher than that i'll lower the intensity.

Is there anyone here that has experience with P2Pool to help me out?

My earnings has tanked as you can see in my earnings graph:
