This shouldn't be taken as 100% correct, but I seem to remember it being mentioned that each step up in chain length is a 30 fold increase. so an 8 length chain would be 30x more difficult than a 7 length chain, and a 9 length chain would then be 900x more difficult than a 7 length chain.

So in other words, your average rate of blocks per hour would be the 5-chain rate / 30^(diff - 5). Time to write a script...

Edit: updated the script.

Why did you write this script? what did you change, and what problem did you solve?

Looks to me that its a python script, basicly a frontend for,
currency = {
   "bitcoin": "BTC",
   "chncoin": "CNC",
   "litecoin": "LTC",
   "namecoin": "NMC",
   "ppcoin": "PPC",
   "primecoin": "XPM",
}
Makes bitcoind/primecoind/... usage easier, etc. updated script also tries to estimate block finding time for XPM also.
