Not sure, but I understood that we should connect to the closest mining pool.
Currently I am using the default pool Nicehash.
HK or IN seems best from SE Asia but GGS mostly connects to USA sometimes to JP.
This is the same on v1.1.14 and v1.1.21

I am using a modded vbios for my RX580 without any further OC/undervolting
Also, when I try to get statistics from
www.nicehash.com I often get "Slow it down a bit ... You have reached your API request quota limit. You can try again in x seconds".
Any chance to opt-out at GGS to pull stats from nicehash or to adjust the frequency?
GGS chooses the best server based on NiceHashes recommendations, so no worries.
I can add an option to disable updates of stats.
