If your pool support mining algorithm negotiation, don't need change variant option (auto switching in place)

You can create run.bat with content:
mcm.exe pause
to see messages and errors if any

What cpu & os do you use? Did you edit config.json (url & user)?

new release 0.9.4: +20% for cn/2 (CryptoNight variant 2 for Monero fork) --av=3 (Software AES implementation).
v0.9.2 - added new algorithm CryptoNight variant 2 for Monero fork - added CryptoNight-Lite and CryptoNight-Heavy support - added SSL/TLS support for secure connections to pools - based on xmrig 2.8.1
The command line didn't work, it didn't care of my setting. I've set to 4 in the config. The hashrate displayed by the pool has big variations, between 33 and 200 H/s, having the 6h average 90 H/s and 3h average 77 H/s. So the setting change doesn't seem to help.
You can check threads count at startup, it will display: "* THREADS: [number]"
The pool and the miner calculate hashrate in different ways. The pool calculates it based on found shares. The miner calculates it based on generated hashes.What hashrate is in the miner?
I've done today a test, since I have at hand an older computer where it doesn't matter if the miner is safe or not. CPU is i7-920, CPU L2/L3 1/8 The hashrate reported by the pool is 87 H/s = the average for the last 3 hours.
If I remember right, the old miners (way more than one year ago) were showing 75-80 H/s, and they were using the CPU 100%, while this one uses 66%. So the numbers look pretty good. All this is on default command line and config, do I have to change anything?
It seems that auto detection failed and set treads count to 5 (that's why cpu usage 66% - 5/8), but for your cpu it would be better 4, try to set it manualty "-t 4" for command line or "threads: 5" in config file, it should increase hashrate

new release v0.9.1: 2% performance boost for --av=0 (Software AES implementation)
I want to use a processor for mining XMR which processor is more efficient? Advise please.
If you plan to upgrade your pc new cpu on which you want get some xmr then AMD Ryzen is great choice - they have a lot of L3 cache. So even Ryzen 3 1200 will perform about 250H/s. To get more details you can use http://monerobenchmarks.info/singleCPUAMDINTEL.php. The main rule - 1.5-2M of cache per thread.
