GPU 1: 73.5C 2551RPM | 427.3/443.0Mh/s | A:8 R:0 HW:0 U:4.39/m
Each column is as follows:
Temperature (if supported)
Fanspeed (if supported)
A 5 second exponentially decaying average hash rate
An all time average hash rate
The number of requested work items
The number of accepted shares
The number of rejected shares
The number of hardware erorrs
The efficiency defined as the accepted shares / requested work and can be >100
The utility defines as the number of shares / minute

Q: The Queue total at the top is much more than the sum of all the Queued
values in each device.
A: The per-device queue value is only incremented when that device has
requested work over any buffered amount of work, so with fewer devices this
value may stay very small.
Q: The Queue never increases on my card but the efficiency keeps going up, how
can the efficiency be so high?
A: Efficiency is defined as the accepted shares returned over the number of
work items requested. Cgminer generates a lot of work locally, and has a
buffer of "global" queued work meaning the device may hardly ever be requesting
work itself. Thus the number of work items requested may be very small yet the
GPU may still have plenty of work, creating accepted shares from them. Thus the
"efficiency", by that definition, becomes extremely high.
Q: Work keeps going to my backup pool even though my primary pool hasn't
failed?
A: Cgminer checks for conditions where the primary pool is lagging and will
