Hi everyone, another update,
A little over a week ago I participated in the stress test and I am happy to say witness lafona2 processed over 100000 transactions and 500000 operations during the two hour stress test. It was capable of producing blocks with more than 3000 transactions in them or 1000 txs/sec, not bad for an Avoton based server. That being said I am still looking through the data, to better understand why blocks were missed and how to optimize the setup for the next run. If you would like to look at or play around with some of the data, I made some charts which you can check out
here. During the stress test, I was also runnning a node for transaction spamming purposes, but I do not currently have any data on that yet.
In addition to that I have been working on a graph of the price feed data from the blockchain, as that has been a pretty consistent discussion recently. It is still very much a work in progress(no historical data, only USD, etc) but if it is helpful I can work on adding other bitassets and including older data. Eventually I would like to be able to unpublished price feed data to help with testing of new witness setups or feed scripts, but that is still a little ways away. Please let me know if you have any thoughts or suggestions.

The primary and backup witness nodes on the bitshares mainnet are now hosted in Paris and Amsterdam and and are running on 8 core Intel Avoton 16 gb machines.
Thanks for you time and attention.
