Best way to calculate what expiry to use?

[FiatKiller]

So when chinacoin hit yesterday everyone was using -s 1 --expiry 1 --queue 0 for P2Pool with cg...
I assume this was because of a new block every second. Is that the best way to do it?
Make the s & expiry match the current new block time?

thanks

Thanks, I've had it at 10 since about 9PM last night and 1400 coins richer, so I guess it's close enough to ideal.

I am lost as to what -s and - queue 0 do? Cant seem to find them anywhere

You can actually put scantime to 0.1 in the cgminer menu.

I did that early with CHNCoin, and it worked like a charm (solo mining of course. Otherwise 0.1 wouldn't make sense)

From the never-readme:  lol
--expiry|-E <arg>   Upper bound on how many seconds after getting work we consider a share from it stale (default: 120)
--queue|-Q <arg>    Minimum number of work items to have queued (0 - 10) (default: 1)
--scan-time|-s <arg> Upper bound on time spent scanning current work, in seconds (default: 60)
