Cryptonight sp-mod version 1 exe file has been sendt to the donators. My first afternoon of work gave an increase of around 10% on the 750ti.
This will increase in the next releases.
If you want to join the train please donate 0.2 BTC and recieve both the optimized Spreadminer (with source) and the Cryptonight mod.
my BTC adress is in my signature.
Do you have an estimate on how much extra hash can you squeeze out of your cryptonight miner?
On a sidenote, your spreadminer v7 has the lowest fluctuation I've ever seen in any algo. It only fluctuates 1-3 kh/s.

I think 30-100% faster is possible but it will take alot of work. I have started with the easy pickings.

Big numbers. I know the code is shit but what exactly did you plan on doing to get those improvements? Perfectly optimizing (to zero runtime, not possible but for the sake of argument) everything but the core phase 2 gives you 21% which would be nice of course. Then you have a loop with 262144 iterations, each of which does something like 8 16-byte reads/writes to pseudo-random locations in the 2MB scratchpad. No way to get coalesced memory access and the GPU can't do shit to hide the memory latencies because you're running a really really small work, due to being limited by the 2MB / thread scratchpad requirement.
