How do hashrates differ per pool?

[JohnyR]

Hey guys,

So recently I've been mining middlepool.com. I've noticed that ever so often my hashrates drop from 420 to 200 because my gpu activity drops from 99 to 0. I switched to another pool (coinotron) and my hashrates stayed constant.

How does a pool contribute to this? Does middlepool have another pool that I could use instead of the default one?

Happy mining!

If the pool cannot deliver work units for one reason or another
- under a DoS attack
- servers are over worked
- some other reason

If you cannot get work then you do not work.
