bitparking I get 44ms and slush I get 143ms. Does that really make a big difference?
everytime a new block is found the pool has to tell you to work on this new block
if it takes slush 100ms more to tell you... you are wasting 100ms on an old one
that adds up... at least 7 minutes a month of wasted time (may not sound like a lot)
best thing you can do is set up failover pools in CGminer, so if one pool goes down, you mine
on a different one automatically.... many times ive woken up and seen my miner has been
idle for 4 hours beause the pool went down and i didnt have a backup
