I think BTC price continue to grow because there are new money in the game, money from business and banking sector plus JPY from Japaneese customers.
Race between alts like ZEC, ETH and BTC is also true and I really don't know what to think about simultaneous price fluctuations of most alts, It worries me a bit.

What is the default number of threads?

As many as your CPU have them.

Any chance for large pages support for Windows ?

I'meant that affinity makes a thread more energy efficent if it works alone on 2-core piledriver module, for example two threads working on one module, sharing the 2MB cache make max 40H/s each, while one thread working alone on 2-core module has 60H/s and thats because it has all the 2MB L3 for itself.
Efficency depends on algo's demand for memory, CryptoNight works best with 2MB and I realy don't know about other algos.
To make sure I need to plug my rig to power meter.
I will try tomorrow if its really more efficent and post the results.

That is the Info + Tool that I was looking for, thank you both onedeveloper and coinbutter.

I don't know if affinity is usefull on Intel cpu's, but works just fine for amd modules with shared L3 2MB cache.

going back to testing.

Hey
At first I'd like to thank You for doing great job, keep up the good work.
I'm currently testing monero mining on FX8320 clocked at 4,1 GHz.
With newest cpuminer-aes-avx.exe i've got better hashrate that with cpuminer-multi.
On 8 threads it goes to 312 H/s on iddle (Win7).
And with only 4 threads tweaked in task manager to use only cores 0, 2, 4 and 6 i got this:

[2017-04-03 18:29:17] CPU #2: 863 H, 58.18 H/s
[2017-04-03 18:29:17] CPU #0: 839 H, 57.07 H/s
[2017-04-03 18:29:17] CPU #1: 844 H, 58.12 H/s
[2017-04-03 18:29:17] CPU #3: 905 H, 60.01 H/s
[2017-04-03 18:29:56] Accepted 38/38 (100%), 4898 H, 232.88 H/s - opened browser with 30+ tabs.
On iddle its going to 248 H/s

I wasn't connecting any power meter but i guess there will be much less power draw on 4 cores.
And here i've got a question about  "--cpu-affinity", I don't know how to use it with "--threads 4", so it would direct all work to cores 0, 2, 4, 6 like I'm doing this in Task Manager, but only after launching the .exe
The are some hex parameters which I don't understand like 0xF0F0 or 0x30, I tried use them without effect.
Can You give me some advice ?
