Stale shares  are always possible if a new job from the pool crosses paths with a share
submitted by the miner using the old job.

The likelyhood of stale shares is directly porportional to the network latency including
processing at either end.

This should only result in a single share, sometimes 2 in quick succession, being stale
before the new job is received.

Stale shares could be reduced with software. Before submitting a share check if the job is
still valid.  There is nothing to gain except maybe perception. Aside from the overhead of
added checking before submission there is also the risk of throwing away a share that might
have been accepted. It's better to just submit it and hope for the best, there's nothing to lose.

I find it effective to reduce stale shares is if you connect to pools within your region. Connecting to the mining server most near to you will reduce it.

I also find it effective if you use a CL15/16 type of RAM in your motherboard.

A SSD is also preferable than a standard HDD.

Lastly, if you can, avoid connecting your rig via WIFI donggle.

Your first point is correct but the latter 3 will not make a difference.

The type of RAM in your computer makes no difference what so ever, do you know how ultra fast RAM is these days?

The SSD has nothing to do with stales shares either, the miner runs off the memory pretty much.

The wifi could be true however WIFI is very fast these days and unless you got interference it won't slow you down by much.

Your point is correct regarding the region. Basically if you are in asia, find a pool located in Asia. If you are in USA, find a pool located in USA. Most pools have multi-regions these days so it shouldn't be an issue.
