Well I'm currently concentrating on three segments on my commute, one in and two home. My overall time is down, but I'm moving up the tables each day.

Managed to get one KoM today, but only on a segment that I was already KoM on and also equalled another KOM time for a segment that I am joint KoM with two others. I was pushing hard but still didn't knock off that elusive 1 second
Which one?

I'm wussing out of trying to maintain or claim back some of my KOMs, it's not a case of a bad worksman etc, but I'm on a 35yr old gentleman's touring bike with fat tyres and it's starting to feel a little dangerous! Instead I'm going to concentrate on some tough uphill segments; I won't get KOM but I will hopefully get fitter!
When I get my Triban I'll try and cause some damage

The uphill ones really are the better ones. This one is the one I am going to give a serious crack on over the next few months and not far away from you either http://app.strava.com/rides/13003781#229985107

Potsy mentioned about less popular segments not showing. I've certainly lost two - Col du Mellor and more importantly Double Dip in reverse, as I've got Double Dip KOM, but the return leg has gone missing - not even showing if you click show less popular - flippin killed myself all the way from Gatley over about 3 miles, and got held up by the lights at the recycling plant, but it should have been a good ride.
Have these been 'purged' ?

Won a far too easy KOM yesterday on a 1.4 km drag, only ten people have ever bothered to register a ride up it and it's not a road most people would use. Still 12 seconds faster than the previous best despite riding into a headwind, shows how easy it was.
I also had to recreate the segment as the previous one the creator had managed to have a starting elevation of -91 metres resulting in a spurious gradient and an incorrect cat 3 climb rating.
Yesterday morning saw the guy who previously had the only other KOM I have, young slim fit guy on a £2000 Giant carbon road bike off to get back his KOM. Fortunately he failed to beat his own best time and this morning I was able to take another 2 seconds of the KOM time

Saw my builder in his truck today. . stopped by his window to say hi and he commented on me overtaking them on the bike lane in a 30 zone. Obviously had to keep that up then and accidentally upped a PB on Strava whilst racing him 
. . . definitely wasn't doing more than 30 though, I think his speedo is a bit off
