Wow, very detailed charted overview. I'm surprised that BTC-E performed so poorly in a lot of areas - this is my exchange of choice. So far they have proved to be excellent (for me), I just hope that it doesn't turn into another Gox.
Thanks for sharing!

I can't say I'm surprised personally. While BTC-E has been around a long time and had few problems the fact of the matter is that it's an exchange that's shrouded in mystery. They definitely don't want governments knowing too much about them and I can't really say that I blame them. But they're never going to be considered a top tier exchange when it comes to safety unless they open up and before much more transparent.
BTC-e does allow you to have additional privacy that other exchanges do not, however it also creates a greater possibility that something similar to what happened at GOX would happen there as there are just so many unknowns.
I guess it's a risk some are willing to take in the name of anonymity.
I am not sure how much more anonymity you reallly get when using BTC-e.
