CPUs kind of suck at the whole Cuckoo Cycle family, and lean mining is inherently very inefficient on all types of DRAM. The two PoWs have rather different memory requirements. The current cuckaroo_cuda_29 grin-miner plugin requires close to 5.5 GB, while both cuckatoo_mean_gtx_cuda_31 and cuckatoo_mea…
