Whole LTC network has 11MH/s at the moment - and it's lot of miners
You cannot compare BTC and LTC hash rates. Different algorithms.
For LTC is way more complex

Which miner currently would be recommended for a machine with core i7 running WinXP 32bits? (don't wanna compile it myself, never had much success compiling complex things out of the 'net)

Download Windows client: https://github.com/downloads/coblee/litecoin/litecoin-windows-client-0.5.0.4.zip
then download miner: http://content.wuala.com/contents/jbw9/pub/Bitcoin/Tenebrix/miner/win/minerd-corei7-avx.exe?dl=1

rename it to minerd.exe and put into Windows client folder.




If it doesent work, download this one: http://content.wuala.com/contents/jbw9/pub/Bitcoin/Tenebrix/miner/win/minerd-i7.exe?dl=1

rename it to minerd.exe and put into Windows client folder.

Why am I only getting rejects? All "booos", no "Yay".

Believe me I've been trying, you can ask g2x3k about my complaints about Linux on IRC.  Tonight I'm going to install Fedora with dual boot instead of running it off of a VM and see how it performs vs what's already out there.  If there is a big difference at all I'll go back to fighting it to make a windows binary.

I'm getting just shy of 4KHps on one of my 2500Ks.

OK, I'm looking forward.

It's still better than <2KH/s per thread on my i7 2600K 4.7GHz... Well, I should probably blame Windows for that.

For the love of God, please tell me how you getting this and what OS and compile flags you are using etc.

Thank you !

Let's work together and make Litecoin the best alt cryptocurrency!

The purpose of Litecoin is not to replace Bitcoin. The goal is to have an alternative coin that's easy for anyone to mine and to be more of a "lite" version of Bitcoin. With faster transaction times, sending litecoins will be quicker and easier than sending bitcoins. Waiting 10-60 minutes for your bitcoins to be deposited can be annoying. Imagine if you can deposit litecoins on a poker website and be able to play in about 2.5 minutes. Since CPU mining is possible with Litecoin, you can even have web-based games that generate coins while you play and Litecoins would then also be used as an in-game currency. I think there are a lot of possibilities for Litecoin to flourish as a lite currency alongside Bitcoin.
