do you guys suggest a longer time between switched? right now, i understand it's now switching a bit too often.

Optimal would be if the time to switch would be dynamic and calculated based on the difference in profitability.
So if you are mining X11 and X13 is more profitable by 2% then there is no need to switch fast. If X13 would become more profitable by 100% then it makes sense to switch quickly to X13.

When I 1st started on yaamp last week it seemed to switch through the algos quite alot then slowed down and switched between a few less frequently. I assumed that my hashrate was being measured and then it moved to switching based on profitability. If thats the case I dont understand the need for an option to provide a "factor to normalize profitability" as documented on your yaamp's multi algo page? Anyway I have input my own factors as they are a bit different than the defaults just in case, eg my hashrate on quark is about 15 times what it is on lyra2.
Also my miner had a "sleep 10" on exit which delayed switching so I have comented that out and recompiled it, now for me switching incurrs little overhead.

before asking for change it would be handy to know what the current switching methodology is?
for reference this is what I use on linux:

while :
do
./ccminer -r 0 -a x11 -o stratum+tcp://yaamp.com:3533 -u 1DQiMcgWVB8wwLWhwGZFkfjF1YhP5gQNFX -p x11=10.4,x13=7.9,x14=7.7,x15=6.8,quark=20,fresh=11,lyra2=1.3
./ccminer -r 0 -a x13 -o stratum+tcp://yaamp.com:3633 -u 1DQiMcgWVB8wwLWhwGZFkfjF1YhP5gQNFX -p x11=10.4,x13=7.9,x14=7.7,x15=6.8,quark=20,fresh=11,lyra2=1.3
./ccminer -r 0 -a x14 -o stratum+tcp://yaamp.com:3933 -u 1DQiMcgWVB8wwLWhwGZFkfjF1YhP5gQNFX -p x11=10.4,x13=7.9,x14=7.7,x15=6.8,quark=20,fresh=11,lyra2=1.3
./ccminer -r 0 -a x15 -o stratum+tcp://yaamp.com:3733 -u 1DQiMcgWVB8wwLWhwGZFkfjF1YhP5gQNFX -p x11=10.4,x13=7.9,x14=7.7,x15=6.8,quark=20,fresh=11,lyra2=1.3
./ccminer -r 0 -a lyra2 -o stratum+tcp://yaamp.com:4433 -u 1DQiMcgWVB8wwLWhwGZFkfjF1YhP5gQNFX -p x11=10.4,x13=7.9,x14=7.7,x15=6.8,quark=20,fresh=11,lyra2=1.3
../ccminer-1.5.31/ccminer -r 0 -a quark -o stratum+tcp://yaamp.com:4033 -u 1DQiMcgWVB8wwLWhwGZFkfjF1YhP5gQNFX -p x11=10.4,x13=7.9,x14=7.7,x15=6.8,quark=20,fresh=11,lyra2=1.3
./ccminer -r 0 -a fresh -o stratum+tcp://yaamp.com:4133 -u 1DQiMcgWVB8wwLWhwGZFkfjF1YhP5gQNFX -p x11=10.4,x13=7.9,x14=7.7,x15=6.8,quark=20,fresh=11,lyra2=1.3
done

As an aside there were some issues with 503 service not available on the website earlier this morning and the miner getting "connection refused", was there a DoS going on?
