Is benchmarking taking longer than it's supposed to?

[VukaKun]

I'm trying to get an estimate for the benchmark time, so I added these lines to core.ps1

   `$RemainingBenchmarks = ($ActiveMiners.subminers | where-object NeedBenchmark -eq $true).count       
    if($RemainingBenchmarks -ne 0){
    $ETA = Get-Date
    $BenchmarkETA = New-TimeSpan -seconds ([int] $BenchmarkintervalTime*$RemainingBenchmarks )
    $ETA = $ETA.AddDays($BenchmarkETA.days)
    $ETA = $ETA.AddHours($BenchmarkETA.hours)
    $ETA = $ETA.AddMinutes($BenchmarkETA.minutes)
    $ETA = $ETA.AddSeconds($BenchmarkETA.seconds)

    Print_Horizontal_line "$RemainingBenchmarks benchmarks left. ETA: $ETA"
    Print_Horizontal_line
    }`

... but it seems way off and it even increases from time to time. What's up with that? If $BenchmarkintervalTime*$RemainingBenchmarks isn't the required benchmark time, then what is?

$ActiveMiners.subminers | where-object NeedBenchmark -eq $true is not true benchmarks left if you use coin level pool like mining pool hub, there is a subminer for each coin but only 1 benchmark for that algo will be done and all coin for that algo will be covered (I know "benchmarks" left number in screen is also false).

Only things that can increase pending benchmarks are:

• Powerlimit feature is enabled and a new algo reach first position for real mining, but this only can happend after a first round of all benchmarks.

• Some pool that before was filtered by @@Minworkers config is not filtered now because has more than configured valued, before had less than that value.

Thanks a lot, I get it now ^_^

Yeah, I'm using both the powerlimit feature and the minworkers filter, so it makes sense.
