It looks like Cells are picking up steam.
(jump from 8M keys to 10M blocks overall in the last few days)

Just a few guesses:
I think many participants, like me, only run their computers
when they are actively using it at home. In the winter season
people spend more time at home, in the probably holidays even
extra. And perhaps Santa gave them a new PC :)
Also, since August, there is a significant contribution of Cell
BE.
