The difficulty factor should be correct and updated as already present on the page; if getdifficulty returns a different value, I do not know why that is. Perhaps you haven’t yet downloaded all the blocks (it’s a process that takes several hours upon first starting Bitcoin, and until it’s completed you cannot generate)?
As for the speed, a midrange AMD GPU will give 150-200khps (meaning two-three weeks per ‘win’), while most CPUs will provide at the very best a tenth of that (I have a low-range CPU and it gives ~2.5khps).
The difficulty factor is correct. I’ve got 700khps; top shows ~200% cpu usage (it’s a dual-core machine). Holy gigaherz Batman, I’ve got a monster in my spare room!
Oops, sorry, I got confused and lost a 10^3 ratio in the post above—the calculator is already in khps; a video card gives 150-200.000 kphs, and my CPU gives 2500. if you input “700” you get a 5410-day average.

Got it.
700 hps or 700 khps?
