Good observation!  As far as I know it is not known.  I'll try to compare it to PM and see if we can track it down.

This is a short term hack.  I think there are possibly some differences between version of mod perl/apache that is used for PM and PP.  Essentially, I set the reset time for the stats data to 1 sec so it is being calculated instead of being pulled from cache.  This could be a big problem when the # of users increases so it is on the top of the list for long term fixes.

I've pulled the classification from PACS (Physics and Astronomy Classification System) but have not changed the MSC 'heading' yet.

The BIG Letters are a result of pulling the data from the PACS website.  I probably could change the perl script to lowercase the letters.  A link to the website is http://publish.aps.org/PACS/  As far as I can tell the BIG LETTERS are the TOP most categories.

Keep up the good work.  Right now we are in testing and don't have many people since we don't wont to turn off people to PP, of course the more people we have testing the more stable we can make it...  Thanks a lot.
