Increase efficiency of slow mining threads such as CPU miners dramatically. Do this by detecting which threads cannot complete searching a work item within the scantime and then divide up a work item into multiple smaller work items. Detect the age of the work items and if they've been cloned before to prevent doing the same work over. If the work is too old to be divided, then see if it can be time rolled and do that to generate work. This dramatically decreases the number of queued work items from a pool leading to higher overall efficiency (but the same hashrate and share submission rate).
