Yes, that's not normal, you should be getting almost exactly the same hashes as LTC. Restart your miner and try a different pool (preferably one with stratum support).
I'll second on that. I had my cgminer 2.4.11 configurations optimized for 7850 on LTC. I got no reduction on hash-rates or any change on hw-errors. This was true even when comparing between longpoll and stratum. Also the same rates with connecting to feathercoind on localhost. And I changed absolutely nothing else in my configuration than the pool addresses and the standard solo mining lines to
~/.feathercoin/feathercoin.conf
server=1
daemon=1
rpcuser=user
rpcpassword=pass
rpcport=8100
port=8101
rcpallowip=127.0.0.1
Wish I could even start guessing what could be causing your trouble.
