Damn, I'm usually a bunch more than that per D3, like 20.

What pool? I'd advise the official pool as using something like a multipool, I SOMEHOW always end up with 10-30% less rewards for same hash :/ So just be thoughtful on pool choice and has rate. I've seen hash rate spike 10 times, and if you see that it's time to rotate coins or pools because your rewards will be much lower
