So,
there are some more questions I have after testing and playing with Cherry:
1. When the "0.43 * diff" Level is reached at all pools, is cherry switching to the Backup Pool?
2. How is cherry switching when the Pools have different payment models!? Such as PROP, PPLNS, SCORE
3. When is Cherry Switching to other Pools!? When they have a lower Submitted Shares Rate, or wenn the reach "0.43 * diff" or when the pool have SCORE when it reaches 0.43 * diff, else when the pool have PROP, when the submitted shares are lower?
3. What is with delayed stats (such as bitcoins.lc!?)
Thank for you fast help and congratulations to your Program.

1. Yes
2. PROP and SCORE hop onto a pool when they are at 0*difficulty, ie just found a block. Prop hops OFF of a pool at .43*difficulty and SCORE hops off a pool around .1*difficulty.
3. CP switches to the pool with the fewest shares until it reaches the hop off point, and then it will either go to a backup pool if no other pools are available under .43*difficulty shares.
4. They delay the stats so that we don't know exactly when a round starts. This reduced our payout greatly as we can't hit the fastest blocks and we miss out on the most profitable shares, which are the first ones of a block.
