Thank you to everyone who suggested setting difficulty in this thread on certain pools.  It seems to help and start fine tuning very quick after getting it Smiley.

If you haven't yet, try this.
Changes won't stick across power cycle, but it does make a noticeable difference.
Combined with setting pool difficulty to 2048 it should get you to advertised speeds.

 Angry of course, a proper firmware should eventually be made available so that nobody has to do any of this Angry
Oh well, maybe for Christmas 2015.

Assuming your S4's IP address was say 192.168.1.99:

Code:
ssh -l root 192.168.1.99 (or equivalent with putty)
wget http://ck.kolivas.org/apps/cgminer/antminer/s4/4.6.1-141018/cgminer
mv /usr/bin/cgminer /usr/bin/cgminer.bak
chmod +x cgminer
mv cgminer /usr/bin/cgminer
/etc/init.d/cgminer.sh restart

I think that might not keep across a power cycle though.
