Just pushed another commit on github.

https://github.com/primecoin/primecoin/commit/eda38d62ad571be02095ce44469c0cc26a2b3675

sieve round limit further reduced to 1 second.
added mike's suggestion.

Give it a try and let me know how it goes.
This nearly tripled my PPS from the original release.

Now getting 2000-2400 PPS on an i7-980X @ 4 GHz. 7 blocks found so far (of which 1 was orphaned).

Compiled with -O3 -march=native.

Do you mean:

Quote
make -f makefile.unix -O3 -march=native
Something like that. More specifically:
Code:
make CXXFLAGS="-O3 -march=native" -j6 -f makefile.unix

These extra flags speed things up? As I did not use any flag when compiling
Supposedly, yes. However, I tried without and I'm not seeing much difference in the PPS. It is difficult to measure though, so the difference could still be there but it's probably small.
