thanks for the test, it seems my autoconfig is bad on the A10, it allocates too many threads. I'll fix it, thanks.

The multihash (double hash is the 2-case, you can set from 1- to 6- ) is also called low-power in stak IIRC. It's about using, on one CPU core, twice the register and twice the cache to get sometimes twice the speed. The trick is that it let the other cores free, so it consume less power and allows the Turbo to enable, for CPU with turbo.

Technically, it's good, sure when you want to save power, but also when you run out of cores and not of cache. If you have a CPU with 2 cores but 8M cache, normal config would give only 2x2M = 4M cache used.

you may enable double-hash to use 2x2x2M cache = 8M of cache, and get some extra perf.
It works more or less depending on the CPU. It's very efficient on Ryzen, and not at all on Core2.

I looked closer at the A10, and yeah that's a little APU with little cache.
I give you an experimental config that could let you get some extra perf, but not sure, i cannot test, i've no A10.

"cpu_threads_conf" :
[
   { "cpu_architecture" : "auto", "affine_to_cpu" : 0, "use_cache" : true },
   { "cpu_architecture" : "auto", "affine_to_cpu" : 1, "use_cache" : false },
   { "cpu_architecture" : "auto", "affine_to_cpu" : 2, "use_cache" : true },
   { "cpu_architecture" : "auto", "affine_to_cpu" : 3, "use_cache" : false },
]

now finishing 0.29c, the last CPU-only version, with some updates.

Try:

"cpu_threads_conf" :
[
{ "cpu_architecture" : "trinity", "affine_to_cpu" : 1, "use_cache" : true },
{ "cpu_architecture" : "trinity", "affine_to_cpu" : 3, "use_cache" : true },
]
