<p>After the rate at which you can generate hashes, what determines the rate at which you can send hashes to be checked?</p>

<p>I'm guessing connecting into a bigger pool would help spread your load?</p>

If you are generating hashes that fast, you should be solo mining

In order to send more hashes for mining do you need to connect into a bigger mining pool?
