I don't have a ZIL wallet in my config Why should it build a ZIL DAG. Other miner don't do this. I don't want to dedicate ZIL hashpower to someone else.

ZIL is ETHASH epoch 1. On multipools you mine many different coins with payout in the currency you choose. ALL miners will have to create dag for epoch 1 if the pool ask you to. TBM will cache EPOC 1 to improve the profit .

ZIL is 1-2 minutes of mining every hour, and 10 seconds saved on the dag creating every hour is +10-20% more profit.

60 seconds of mining instead of 50 seconds of mining (+20%)

On the Nicehash dagger hashimoto port, around 40% of the revenue is from ZIL mining. (ethash epoc 1)

in 2.08 there is a --zil-only option that will ignore all other ethash jobs than epoch 1. This can improve dual mining performance. Try ETC+RVN with --zil-only and get 99% profit on RVN and +40% on daggerhashimoto
