Ive noticed that the share efficiency has been lower than normal recently. Is there a particular reason for that? Does it have to do with the variability in hash rate that we have been experiencing? Are there any planned updates to increase the share efficiency?
As far as I can tell the global share efficiency hasn't moved substantially recently, it's still floating around a 99.5% average.
There isn't much to be done in terms of updates to increase this figure, as pool-side latency is already quite minimal. Most of the latency is due to network communication and miner software.
