Hi Claymore and Community.

I'm switched from 8.0 to 9.3 and noticed that time of share accepted increased 2-3 times. And totally effected pool average hashrate.
See below, (dual-mining or single mode result the same):

Version 8.0
ETH: Share accepted (62 ms)!

Version 9.3
ETH: Share accepted (156 ms)!
ETH: Share accepted (172 ms)!

So, seems this affect hashrate and I lost around 10% in 24 hours period.

Any suggestion are welcome, thanks in advance.

I see the newbie tag so let me explain some things to you.

The speed at which shares are accepted does not matter (much) in mining.

Shares are weighted by difficulty.  I can mine at low difficulty and submit a lot of shares fast.
Someone else can mine at high diffilcuty. They submit fewer shares but because the work they solved was more difficult they actually have more hash than me.

What matters is the hashrate the pool is reporting. The pool is giving you the data including the difficulty, not simply the total number of shares.

this is confusing. I'd think that 'ms' is the time measured from the moment you submitted the share till you got response from the pool. and if so it wouldn't probably have to do anything with the miner version, but the network conditions.  also obviously when the block time is short your ping better be fast.
