Anyone willing to share their hash-rate?

I'm currently getting around 500 h/s on a 2950x. Can't seem to push it any higher than that using the cryptonight-webchain miner. Is that a good speed?

{
   "algo": "cryptonight-webchain",
   "av": 0, // algorithm variation, 0 auto select
   "background": false, // true to run the miner in the background
   "colors": true, // false to disable colored output
   "cpu-affinity": null, // set process affinity to CPU core(s), mask "0x3" for cores 0 and 1
   "cpu-priority": null, // set process priority (0 idle, 2 normal to 5 highest)
   "donate-level": 5, // donate level, mininum 1%
   "huge-pages": true,
   "hw-aes": null,
   "log-file": null, // log all output to a file, example: "c:/some/path/webchain-miner.log"
   "max-cpu-usage": 75, // maximum CPU usage for automatic mode, usually limiting factor is CPU cache not this option.
   "print-time": 60, // print hashrate report every N seconds
   "retries": 5, // number of times to retry before switch to backup server
   "retry-pause": 5, // time to pause between retries
   "safe": false, // true to safe adjust threads and av settings for current CPU
   "threads": 16, // number of miner threads
   "user-agent": null,
   "watch": false,

I think you should be getting double that.

Here are some tips:

1. If you're using Windows, make sure you're running the miner as admin, otherwise it will not allow for huge pages.
2. Setting cpu affinity helps. Instead of "threads": 16, use this to affine the threads each to a physical core:

"threads": [
   {"low_power_mode": false, "affine_to_cpu": 0 },
   {"low_power_mode": false, "affine_to_cpu": 2 },
   {"low_power_mode": false, "affine_to_cpu": 4 },
   etc. until 16 threads...
   {"low_power_mode": false, "affine_to_cpu": 30 }
],

I've spent several hours trying to figure out why I can't get a better hashrate. I seem to be getting the best hashrate when using 8 threads (which maxes out around 700). After doing a TON of googling and reading through forums I realized that my solution was much simpler... I have 8 slots on my motherboard from RAM. I placed my ram sticks on one side of the motherboard (which means that the CPU couldn't use all 16 cores to their full potential) I moved one stick over to the other side and I can get a max of 1400 h/s on 16 threads. Although, i've got this tuned to 12 cores to try and keep the temp down. (I'm still getting 1050 h/s which seems reasonable enough)

If you want to keep your temp and power consumption down, consider running 8 dual threads instead of 16 normal. Just change low_power_mode": false to low_power_mode": true in all (now 8 ) threads. You'll be running half the number of threads, but al of them will use double cache. You should be getting around 1100 H instead of 1400, but with 25% CPU usage instead of 50%.
