-e, --engine=N choose a NeoScrypt hashing engine
0 integer (default)
1 SSE2
2 SSE2 4-wayI was not aware of different ‘engines’ for hashing on CPU’s as I don’t CPU mine. What is the reason for them?

What is sse2?

What is sse2?
It’s an instruction set for CPU’s, pretty much all cpus nowadays have at least SSE2, even my 7 year old laptop (from core 2 duo era) has SSE3

Ah OK that makes sense :)

Spartan gets +many

I tested the miner on my laptop (Pentium T4400 @ 2.2GHz):
INT: appears to be the old engine (gets same hashrate etc), 4.4kh/s
SSE2: a little bit faster, causes my laptop to heat up a lot more, 4.8kh/s
SSE2-4way: even faster, not as hot as SSE2, 5.8kh/s
Also on my desktop (i7-3770K @ 4.0GHz):
INT: again appears default, 27kh/s
SSE2: not much improvement, 28kh/s
SSE2-4way: a bit better, 31kh/s
it seems that the sse2 and sse2-4way engines helps alot with older cpus which do not have as much number crunching power

Thanks GhostLander!WoW! I had never seen a CPU hash faster than a GPU!
By the way, why do old graphics cards hash so badly with neominers? I have a 5970 (and everybody knows it is not a bad one) and it can barely reach 26 kh/s with two cores. Is there hope that this will be fixed?

Worked great here for me once I understood the flag setup to use. I saw about the same results as was posted earlier.
Great work! Thank you!

Sydney are you still working on the site?
