Some People need to realize how difficulty works. Just putting a mass of hash on a coin when it's at low diff does not get you the best bang for your buck. You just drive up difficulty to the same block timing.
Better to gradually add hash. Become some percent of nethash, start getting that percent of blocks solved and adjust/add hash as desired.
Yes 100% completely agree!! The driving the difficulty up doesn't do anything except get the chain stuck once the huge hash leaves mining Galaxycoin cause the difficulty is too high for other miners to solve.
