There is a hidden option in cgminer when Icarus support is compiled in:
--icarus-timing <arg> Set how the Icarus timing is calculated - one setting/value for all or comma separated
default Use the default Icarus hash time (2.6316ns)
default[=N] Use the default Icarus hash time (2.6316ns)
short Calculate the hash time and stop adjusting it at ~315 difficulty 1 shares (~1hr)
long Re-calculate the hash time continuously
value Specify the hash time in nanoseconds (e.g. 2.6316)
value[=N] Specify the hash time in nanoseconds (e.g. 2.6316) and abort time (e.g. 2.6316=80)
Icarus timing is required for devices that do not exactly match a default Icarus Rev3 in
processing speed

In 'default' or 'value' mode the 'constants' are calculated once at the start, based on the default
value or the value specified
The optional additional =N specifies to set the default abort at N 1/10ths of a second, not the
calculated value, which is 112 for 2.6316ns
To determine the hash time value for a non Icarus Rev3 device or an Icarus Rev3 with a different
bitstream to the default one, use 'long' mode and give it at least a few hundred shares, or use
