One more question if you guys don't mind giving me yet another answer. Are there any benefits to reducing my difficulty now that that issue is resolved? Or better to keep diff high.
Thanks,

if you have a larger farm and you are hammering out with the 280x cards - i would stick to the higher diff ...
this just allows the machines to process without continually communicating to the server / pool and wasting valuable time doing so ...
btw - do you use the optimum values for the 280x cards? ... for memclock and gpuclock? ...
that will give you a slightly higher hash on each card ...
and with the card i tested ( gigabyte 280x oc ) - 2gpu threads worked better than just the one ( -g 2 ) ...
my settings ...
./cgminer -o http://mine1.coinmine.pl:1999/ -u chrysophylax.ace -p x --blake256 -w 64 -g 2 -I 9 --gpu-engine 1150 --gpu-memclock 750 --no-submit-stale
this setting gave me about 1.54gh per card ...
though 'thefarm' is all nvidia - i did test these settings with the one amd card i got running ... but pulled it offline soon after ...
i spread my mining between the pools also ...
