My rule of thumb has been if it's under 1% on the pool stats you should be fine.
If it's more than that you may need to select a pool closer to you or turn down your overclock a bit!
Spot on advice. Gave you a merit.

Have been more active lately instead of just lurking since I am gearing up to move to a state with cheaper power rates which excites me to no end!!!!
