I do the same thing. It's been better the last 24 hours or so.

What do you consider "better" or worse? Do you prefer it fuller or empty?
Well I don't like paying high fees to move my coin, so... less full is better. I don't like to see a big mempool. Although I set my node to 2GB cache to accommodate a pretty big mempool. Any nodes running Core with a default 512MB cache were purging the entire bottom half of the mempool last week.
