trepex thanks for sharing this info.
Did you disclose your finding with KnC, it could be a useful info for them.
did you notice any an increase in performance ?
Yes, of course I also sent out an e-mail to the KnC support as I am not sure they read all what is
going on here in that forum.
And yes, it looks like the (long term average, more than some hours) peformance did go up slightly.
It's hard to give a real number, but I would assume it to be +5Gh/s. I think it's due to no restarts and no "slow startup performance".
I don't have the impression that the max performance or (short term) medium performance really
did go up.
