I think short term consistency is pretty strong. There are a lot of rigs that went dormant in the dark ages (< $5 BTC). Seeing as how a 238% increase in difficulty basically means profitability is halved, I really don't see myself coming back online anymore unless the price of BTC also doubles accordingly (genuine possibility at current rates).
