Yes, I agree. However I am concerned that I am not even seeing signs of
recovery 48 hours later. The network cannot take that long to converge if
it is converging at all.

I would hope it doesn't take that long. Does that mean a new node in the
network will take weeks to develop a specialization also?

Definitely. And this is why I look at incoming requests. My node could not
specialize in a keyspace but instead specialize on routing that keyspace
through other nodes which would be fine. But even in that case I would see
the specialization in my incoming request histogram.
