As some have noted the CPAN Testers Statistics site is not getting updated regularly at the moment. The main reason for this is that with such a large amount of data to trawl through (it was taking over to 3GB or RAM and used significant amounts of CPU over a prolonged period), the calculations were affecting the speed of processing for other parts of the system.
Currently work is ongoing to reduce both the memory footprint (currently down to 2.5GB) and the processing time. Once the site creation works much more efficiently, I'll reinstate its automated running. Until then I shall be running the site manually every few days.
UPDATE: Statistics is now live again. The code for the site has now been altered to take a snapshot of the current state, and then reload that snapshot on the next run. This reduces the memory footprint by nearly 1GB, and runs much faster, thus reducing the processing queues in general. See the CPAN release for the latest code changes.
