Added

  • max · eco · min, beside solo and the pool. How much of the machine mining
    may take, as a duty cycle: dispatch a batch, then stand aside for a
    proportional rest. Wall-clock share is the honest unit — it is what the fans,
    the battery and every other app on the machine actually feel.

    mode measured of full tilt
    max 42–47 MH/s 100%
    eco 9.1 MH/s 21% (asked 25%)
    min 3.6 MH/s 8% (asked 10%)

    The gap is fixed per-dispatch cost. The rate shown is real — those hashes
    genuinely are not being done. The setting is a four-byte file the miner
    re-reads twice a second, so moving the control is felt at once instead of
    costing an epoch-table rebuild. erg mine --intensity max|eco|min from the
    terminal.

Changed

  • The scan stopped allocating three GPU buffers per dispatch. They were
    asked of Metal eight times a second and thrown away; only their contents
    change, not their storage. Over five-minute runs the mean rate went from
    38.0 MH/s to 49.4 — about 29%, though thermal drift makes the exact figure
    soft.
