   * **proof recomputations**: performing a (partial) proof lookup

+== Note: For simplicity, we use plot size k32 and plot filter 512. ==
 ==== Quality Recomputations ====
-For every signage point (9216 per day), a k32 has a 1/512 chance to pass the plotfilter. When passing the filter, a quality string lookup needs to be performed. In the case of compressed plots, this means part of the plot must now be recomputed.
-That means that for every signage point, 1/512 = 0.001953125 expected recomputations per k32.
+There are 9216 signage points a day. For every signage point, a k32 plot has a 1/512 chance to pass the plot filter. When passing the filter, a quality string lookup needs to be performed. In the case of compressed plots, parts of the plot must be recomputed to complete the quality lookup.
+Thus, for every signage point, we expect 1/512 = 0.001953125 recomputations per k32.
 ==== Proof Recomputations ====
-When pooling, every k32 is expected to produce 10 point per day on average.
-[[poolinfo:dashboard:pool-diff|Reiterating]] that at
-  * difficulty 1, that is 10 (partial) proofs per day of 1 point,
-  * difficulty 10, that is 1 (partial) proof per day of 10 points,
-  * difficulty 100, that is 0.1 (partial) proofs per day of 100 points,
-  * etc.
-That means that with **difficulty 1** for every signage point, 10/9216 = 0.001085069444 expected recomputations per k32.
+When pooling, every k32 is expected to produce 10 points per day on average. Let's look at some examples [[poolinfo:dashboard:pool-diff|at various pool difficulties]]. A single k32, at:
+  * pool difficulty 1, is expected to submit 10 (partial) proofs per day, worth 1 point each;
+  * pool difficulty 10, is expected to submit 1 (partial) proof per day, worth 10 points;
+  * pool difficulty 100, is expected to submit 0.1 (partial) proofs per day, worth 100 points.
+In the case of compressed plots, parts of the plot must be recomputed for a (partial) proof.
+Thus, with pool **difficulty 1**, we expect 10 recomputations per 9216 signage points. That's 10/9216 = 0.001085069444 expected recomputations per k32.
 ==== Pool vs Solo ====
-Putting those together, we see that*
+Putting quality and proof recomputations together, we see that<sup>1</sup>:
-  * a solo farmer is doing 1/512 recomputations per signage point
-  * a poolfarmer with **difficulty 1** is doing 1/512 + 10/9216 recomputations per signage point
+  * A solo farmer is doing 1/512 recomputations per signage point.
+  * A pool farmer at pool **difficulty 1** is doing 1/512 + 10/9216 recomputations per signage point.
-That means that the poolfarmer incurs an overhead of ~56% at plotfilter 512. And half of that at plotfilter 216.
+That means that the pool farmer is faced with an overhead of ~56% at plot filter 512. And half of that at plot filter 256. This overhead decreases linearly with pool difficulty, so let's have a look at the effect at varying pool difficulties:
-This overhead decreases linearly with pool difficulty, so that
-^  Pool Difficulty  ^  Overhead  ^^
+^  Pool Difficulty ^  Overhead                         ^^
-^                 ^plotfilter 512 ^ plotfilter 256 ^
+^                  ^ plot filter 512 ^ plot filter 256 ^
-| 1 | 56% | 28% |
+|    1 | 56%  | 28%   |
-| 5 | 11% | 6%  |
+|    5 | 11%  | 6%    |
-|10 | 6%  | 3%  |
+|   10 | 6%   | 3%    |
-|50 | 1%  | 0,5%|
+|   50 | 1%   | 0.5%  |
-|100|0,5% | 0,3%|
+|  100 | 0.5% | 0.3%  |
-|500|0,1% | 0,06%|
+|  500 | 0.1% | 0.06% |

+== [1] For simplicity, we ignore recomputations for actual blocks. ==
 The implication of this is that the computational overhead due to pooling could be said to be directly independent of farm size, although indirectly large farmers generally have a higher pool difficulty.

-TIP: When farming compressed plots in a pool, consider increasing your difficulty a bit. e.g. from 3 minutes per partial, to 6 minutes per partial. See https://xchdata.io/diffcalc to choose your optimal difficulty.
