Take a look at the "Histogram of requested keys" and compare it to the "Histogram of successful externally requested keys" in the Node Status Interface. Notice anything odd ?
I certainly have. The longest bars in successfull are the shortest in the requests. In other words, my node is much better at getting some keys than others (which is probably a good thing since it implies specialization) but these are the keys I get the least requests for (which is a bad thing and implies serious bugs somewhere). In short, the better I become to fetch a given key, the less likely it gets routed to me - or so it seems to me, at least. Can anyone give any more rational explanation to this ?
The attached statistics are very small because I had to restart my node recently after a period of downtime, and the traffick hasn't really picked up yet. However, take note of keys d and e - there is less requests for d than e, despite d having more successes (not just a higher percentage, but more total successes). The same thing persists, even when there has been tens of thousands requests.

5 datapoints isn't enough data to say anything. You're actually trying to compare the 2 successes on d to the 1 success on e! Get a lot more data (like *at least* 50x more) before you post your evidence. BTW, my node is not showing any obvious sign of the odd behavior you describe.
