Its weird. Many cryptonote currencies seem to have the same effect. A hashrate increase of roughly 10x in the last few days.

I doubt suddenly everyone started mining them. Unless there have been developments like a new gpu miner that I don't know of. In which case, cpu mining (the main thing keepeng them attractive to miners) is gone

I've been using Claymore's GPU miner since the beginning...

That's not new. GPU miners for cryptonote coins while better than cpu are still not that much better like in other algos.
The sudden increase in 3 cryptonote coins I usually mine all in a very short time puzzles me

My 1050 does ~225 and my i5 does ~80. So still around 3x. I'd say that's quite a bit better. I just use both at the same time.

Your i5 is probably an older model without AES-NI instructions.
i5s i7s and AMD FXs of the last 3-4 years can do easily around 300h/s.

As far as I know it has AES-NI instructions, it's an i5 4590. However, I might be running the wrong executable. I'm running cpuminer-gw64-avx2.exe for CPUminer. There are 2 others but I never run them. I don't really notice the miner running either, this is on my main PC. The same one I have 40 Chrome tabs open on. So I guess I lose some power to all the apps I have open too.

If you have any suggestions for better settings or anything I'm here to learn. If my i5 was doing as much as my GPU that might shift my gears for the next upgrade. I'm not sure if I should upgrade my processor next or buy a 2nd 1050, maybe both. I'm definitely in the market for an upgrade in May or June.

Try this one https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1326803.0
It gives about 250-300h/s on any 4core i5-i7 and 8core AMD FX at around 4GHz.
