The defaults are set such that avg traffic takes ca 0.02s on an average system. Even if you have a really really slow system, I don’t think you‘ll ever spend more than 2s there.
Nah you need to think about it in terms of computing power compared to each other.
According to the screenshots of XMRig for android you only get about ~35H/s while my laptop does ~2400. That's 68x faster so if it took my laptop 2 seconds it would take a mobile device ~130 seconds.
It screws with mobile users and makes the whole crypto PoW thing about it using too much energy many times worse. Not to mention botnets could make use of enough computing power to easily outpace any captchas thrown at it.
Nah you need to think about it in terms of computing power compared to each other.
For example a raspberry pi (using as a substitute for a phone) can do about ~100 hashes a second while my laptop does ~2400. That's 24x faster so if it took my laptop 2 seconds it would take a mobile device ~48 seconds.
See the issue yet? :P
EDIT: According to the screenshots of XMRig for android you only get about ~35H/s which means it would take over 2 minutes to pass a captcha on a phone.

According to the docs (https://github.com/mCaptcha/mCaptcha/blob/master/docs/CONFIG...), you can set three difficulty levels:
MCAPTCHA_CAPTCHA_AVG_TRAFFIC_DIFFICULTY
MCAPTCHA_CAPTCHA_PEAK_TRAFFIC_DIFFICULTY
MCAPTCHA_CAPTCHA_BROKE_MY_SITE_TRAFFIC_DIFFICULTY
The defaults are set such that avg traffic takes ca 0.02s on an average system. Even if you have a really really slow system, I don’t think you‘ll ever spend more than 2s there.
