PCS only triggers PCM jobs half the time, any ideas?

Hi There,

PCS appears to be running fine:

[ Elapsed: 942 | Fetched: 55929 | SearchPRE's: 0 | HITs Available: 71 ]

Yet for some reason, it seems to miss about half the jobs I expect it to generate in PCM, and I can't get any handle on why.

Like this morning, for instance, I did a series HIT that should generate 20-30 new jobs in PCM. But today it decided to generate exactly zero. I know the HITs are there, I see them in the scraper and nobody else is grabbing them. I ended up grabbing the URLs via the mturk interface and adding them manually to the PCM interface.

But then an hour later, PCS will work on another HIT. Then an hour later, not work again.

My internet is pretty stable. The error is happening far too often for it to be that. Is there any way I can investigate this behaviour? An error log or data log?

I reboot Chrome pretty often now but that doesn't make any difference.

Seems to have gotten worse recently, though I can't say exactly when.

Be great if you have any clues or ideas.

Thank you.

I've increased the "Page Size for MTURK Search Page" up from 45 to 100 to see if that makes any difference.
