if there is no HW errors, disconnects...etc everyone should have 99+% efficiency after few hour (difficulty does NOT matter!)
more hash u have mean less time to balancing out luck/unluck at higher difficulty
but there is no way to be "unlucky" all the time and getting bad efficiency without any reason!

Work Unit = shares / minute @ difficulty 1 (diff1 = 2^16 at scrypt coins)
HRA = average hash rate (kHs)

efficiency = WU * 65536 / 60 / 1000 / HRA
(*100 to get res. as %)

after 1+ week mining i (stil) have more than 99% efficiency on all rig
1h ago restarted my solo card desktop PC = 110% efficiency atm.. and will go down to ~100%


Sorry but could you comment this definition of efficiency?
How could an efficiency be greater than 100% ? (Does your PSU give more watts to your rig than it takes from the wall  Huh)
If we forget the conversion factors you are more or less dividing your sharerate by your hashrate, so it's shares/hashs right?
Is it really a good indicator?
