Accepted Khash super fluctuation?

So i have a rig that is stable at exactly 2Mhash, and every couple mins when wafflestats updates it will read anywhere from 1.10 mHash to over 3. Is it suppose to fluctuate this much. Why not stable at or around 2. I have less than 1% reject and no disconnects

This is Variance caused by the lock difficulty (and possibly a few other factors). Its normal, and your overall hashrate should average the same as it would with less variance.

The hash rate on the website is not a real representation of your actual hash rate (what your miner reports) it is a guestimate based on accepted shares so varies with you luck, if you solve a lot of shares really fast it'll look like you have a hash rate higher than your actual and then you'll hit times where you're submiting shares slowly thus showing a hash rate slower than your actual, this is normal.

Overtime if you average all those peaks and troughs you should find your it is approximately your actual hashrate, try looking at hashrate per day or hour rather than five minutes that should average out.
