I'm considering turning it off cause I'm getting sooo annoyed by the worker who goes to the backside of the mineral line on some maps...

I fucking hate that one miner that always goes around to the back....

EDIT: As others have clearly pointed out as well^^.

I leave it on so that when I get back with food I can build a pool immediately.

I think even the best split is not as fast as automining.

Haha yes, that is quite annoying.
Try reassigning it quickly.

On. For some reason at the start of every hots game my screen freezes for 1 sec(doesn't happen in wol for me), its already obnoxious since it delays my first drone.

And as others have said, its just faster to have it on.

After much testing, you lose time (so...minerals) if you manually split like the old days.
So leave it enabled, and mineral stack afterwards.

Turning it of would be stupid. Even though it doesn't split the workers, it starts before you can even react. Be the time you make your first worker and would box the rest of them they're almost at the minerals.

Building my barracks @ 1:34 instead of 1:37 on a fast day? Oh yeah, i'm never going to turn it off. I do notice that on some maps there is 1 worker that will go behind the mineral line, so i always micro that one.

I leave it on, because I never played enough to learn how to optimally split workers at the beginning of the game. There's that, plus the fact that it's a band-aid over the larger problem of potentially not seeing the first few seconds of your game due to lag (seriously, why don't they don't they have a 3-2-1 countdown inside the game after both players are connected and ready?).

I suppose it's good to hear that manual splitting can still be more optimal, as that means there's a reason to turn off automatic mining at the start of the game eventually.

I leave it on, sometimes I lag at the start so I make my first worker at like 0:03, imagine mining after that.

I leave it on because I am lazy and they are many area i need to improve that will have a much bigger impact then the 5-10 extra mineral I will get from doing the split myself. I do rally / pair my works during the 1st few minutes of the game though mostly because i dont have anything to do beside make an OL.

I'd personally prefer just having a timer in-game before it becomes un-paused because I don't like automation, but since I have lag I just leave it on.

Splittings not a big deal, but I do kinda wish there weren't the numbers over your town center....

I have 2-3 sec delay every game. Its amazing option for me.
