Ok now I have another question... when I look at my data ...
Shares: 225 total (17 orphaned, 14 dead) Efficiency: 106.1%
that doesn't look too bad but when I look at when I had my gpu in the mining I see in the graphs
http://fearmypenguin.ath.cx:9327/static/graphs.html while I was mining with my gpu is when I think I got most of the orphaned and dead shares... how can I tweak this , can I tweak this, is this something I have never seen before because I am usually on a PPS site?

I dunno, I'd say 225 shares w/ 17 orphaned and 14 dead is pretty bad... the efficiency rating may have been high at that particular moment, but most of the time it'd be under 100%... those figures are 15% stale+dead.. Having peers with fast ping times + bitcoind w/ many connections helps
Having bitcoind running in the above problem with 1000 or 1 connections will have no effect on efficiency
(Port 9327 AKA LTC)
But the longer you run LTC p2pool the more connections litecoind has the higher the efficiency rate goes up.
When i start up i always get sub 100% efficiency for a day or so before it goes over 100%
Just to compare stats my LTC p2pool has been running only 1 day more than yours.
I have the same number of incoming and outgoing connections.
my doa rate is .14% lower
I have alot less shares than you, 79 total (5 orphaned, 0 dead) Efficiency: 111.1%
and I'm using minerd only not cgminer
Your DOA rate seems to be proportional to you Hash rate, your hashing @ 500kHs with a doa of maybe 30kHs.
plus i'm sure cgminer has a higher DOA rate because its LTC mining is very recently added to it,and i'm sure it will get better over time.
