Do any of you here know why the queue on the config is set so high? Is there a big gain from setting it to a lower number or why did they program 4096 as the queue. The discarded amounts are so high...
If you want, you can change the queue in /etc/init.d/cgminer
I use 32 and it seems to be a good compromise. Some people use 1, others have kept 4096 - doesn't seem to have a huge effect, but can save you some CPU cycles if you make it lower.
Okay thanks, I will search. Does the 4096 and large amount of discarded not affect the overall hashrate and work submitted? Also, is 32 equivalent to 32shares or a share in that size? I ask because I did not know if 4096 was 4096 shares or a share/shares added for a vardiff of 4096
Look at cklolivas(cgminer dev) post in this thread. Goes into great detail about this.
