Hey all:
I have been searching and reading a ton about timing of harvester/farming including bug reports / github issues with nas times. I am still a little unclear and was hoping someone would take a minute and help me understand it a bit better. Here is an example of my log:
2021-05-21T07:38:26.001 harvester chia.harvester.harvester: INFO 0 plots were eligible for farming 632e3571bf... Found 0 proofs. Time: 0.15400 s. Total 103 plots

What concerns me is that sometimes when I have plot(s) pass a filter, the time goes up. For example, the first hit with 2 plots is good at .675000s but you can see a bit later I have 1 plot pass but time is 8.33100.
I am guessing the time is going up because right now, I am farming on a machine with my plots share mounted via smb.
Question 1: Am I correct in thinking this is all fine given that is still under 30sec but greater than 2?
Question 2: Let's say I get lucky and one of my plots may have a proof. Does that full plot have to be transferred via the smb mount? I am pretty confident I can't transfer 100gb in under 30 sec with my network setup from the unraid array.
I am really just trying to determine if I need to stop farming remotely given these times and just farm directly on the unraid server via a docker container.
I know a bunch of us are off creating plots and storing them on our array, so just trying to figure out if we even have a chance at winning given the speed of unraid reads.
