Ping
Since the server migration my ping has been very bad, average 150-180.
But, after yesterdays reset my ping is back to normal 120 +/- 2 average
Whatever you did, thank you.
Is there any chance for a 'sticky keys' solution in the new Open GL driver too?

Well, we didn't change your ping.
Interestingly, I asked a friend of mine at our ISP to check it out, and he extensively did so, and found the routing was not actually any worse on our end. It was going into multi-ISP / municipal cloud at the far end, which was most likely demonstrating asymmetric return routing in some cases. So, even though it was riding the same connection (Level3), from roughly the same place (Chicago vs Milwaukee), by the time it made it to the far end, the routing-choices by the remote ISP were less than ideal.
So, chances are, it was something fixed close to you. If not your ISP, then perhaps their upstream ISP.
Such is the process of routing roulette.
No, we have not fixed the mac issue, which I think you're referring to. It isn't an "OpenGL" issue, as there is no problem on Linux. But, there is definitely a Mac problem.

Thanks for the clarification Inc.
That's the beauty of being in europe (Hamburg and O2 at that time): the lag introduced by the pond is much higher than anything possible in the usa. Usually I had 300-400 ping.
My ping has been a stable 130-133ms in the past for years and after the server migration it's still the same. Guess you were just unlucky.
For example one or two years ago there was a period of a few months where the latency would always increase on sunday around 18pm GMT between the US links and your server and go back to normal after a few hours.
