mining with 2 x R9 290 - current draw from wall is only 460kw with xpt miner, gpu temp is 70
getting 31940kh/s

when I use these cards for scrypt-jane, they pull 600kw from wall and run at 80 degree

scrypt-jane is brutal. It's about as GPU hard as you can get while still actually being able to run it on a GPU.
Right now the biggest bottleneck with Metiscoin GPU mining is the memory bandwidth. It uses 8 semi-large lookup tables and calls them a few hundred times per hash, slowing the whole thing down. So for the time being, it's probably more fair to compare MTC mining wattage to BTC mining wattage.

I'm still working on optimizations though, so stay tuned. I'll make some more progress eventually.

It would be very nice to have a i686 (32bit) compability for all old good BAMT users...

There's already a 32-bit version released. It's the one labeled xptMiner-GPU-x86-v1.X.zip

Is this for metiscoin only or can it be used for any other coin?

This miner works only for Metiscoin. Metiscoin requires chaining three hash algorithms: keccak -> shavite -> fugue.
If you modify the miner to simply be keccak, then it can be used to mine Maxcoin, but there's already a GPU miner for that, so I didn't bother. Wink
