I went out around 11pm last night and stayed until 4am this morning - I'm lucky enough to have 360 degrees of open sky and very little light pollution here - and saw over 400 with some pronounced peaks in activity towards the end. I do like the flurries of activity that mean you get half a dozen in the space of a few seconds from time to time.
I've been watching this shower for many years, and agree this was one of the best shows I've seen too. No moonlight makes a lot of difference.
Saw quite a large number of meteors that didn't appear to come from the Perseid radiant too - though whether those were really 'sporadic' meteors or actual Perseids that had been whipped around in Earth's gravity well and fell in from a different direction I don't know.
