I was staking about 10 times a day before the fork, and it remains at that level post-fork. I do have the rare random wallet hang (although it seems just UI-related and work appears to continue in the background), and it was confirmed by a dev that it's a known issue.
being a (non-gridcoin) developer myself, it made total sense to patch the exploits quickly, even if it wasn't an ideal fix. then you go back and make things right later, after the fire is put out. I'm assuming that work is going on now.
