I have an i3-3220 processor which i am using for mining.
I know that you're supposed to use a GPU and all that. But currently i'm just trying it out before spending money.
I'm using CPUMiner, mining at middlecoin.com, 24 hours a day.
The problem is that i'm recieving very less hashrate.
This https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Mining_hardware_comparison points out that an i3 processor (which is actually a lower model than mine) recieves almost 8.5 MH/s and i receive about 5.5 KH/s on each thread that is about 27 KH/s in total.Why such a large difference?
What do i need to tweak? Is my program useless? Are the settings wrong? Is it problem with the pool?

You are mining scrypt coin.
The wiki is talking about bitcoin (sha256) mining speed.
