hehe.. It seems that I have trouble beating that, but I haven't
tried running in console mode yet... :)

353348 chains done, current rate: 153.70 chains/s
368757 chains done, current rate: 153.78 chains/s
384007 chains done, current rate: 153.91 chains/s
399530 chains done, current rate: 154.08 chains/s

Finding the max performance is fun and interessting, but I think
I have at least now found good parameters to use in different
situations. I find my computer usable at 150 chains/s...

I would be happy to contribute data to this project, and I guess I
have not use for my GPU power more than maximum 5% of the time my
computer is powered on.

So, some questions again... In your last reply you say this:

During all my testing the last days I have saved all the data
generated. I have only tweaked the --device cuda:... and the
--intermediate filter:runlength parameters.

If my first test run with --chains 1024 is good, is the rest ok, or
should I start all over? After two days I have saved 224Mb of data...
