The technical reason for dropping so many messages is that acting as a leaf you will receive many pongs that you won't pass to other hosts, so they are counted as dropped messages.

You might very well be seeing less queries than before, because Gnutella is still abused by greedy clients. - LimeWire 2.9.5 (it's still a little buggy, so I don't think it's going to be released before next week) will tackle this problem by dropping all requeries it encounters (that includes of course that you won't be allowed to send any requeries either - all you will be allowed to do is searching manually).
