Verification and CPU

I am currently hosting 3 RTX 5090 machines, and am looking for ways to get verified faster and optimize earnings. Each machine has either i9-14900KF or Ryzen 9 9950X3D, a 64GB RAM, and 2TB SSD (2GB-5GB/s). My internet speed is 600Mbps/550Mbps. It has been one week since I started hosting, and none of the machines are verified. Since it doesn't make much financial sense to leave them unoccuppied all the time for verification purpose, I started attracting offers by setting the prices low (0.30-0.40), while leaving the duration time medium length (10days).

I wonder: should I take a break after the 10 days to get verified first? If so, how long should I typically wait for verification before setting the prices low again to attract offers?

Does the CPU matter or is CPU a filtering criteria for renters typically when they search? Obviously both of my CPUs are 6GHz while majority of machines on the market are lower speed. Should I charge a premium for the CPU?

Interruptible bids: where can I find statistics on machines that are successfully rented on interruptible bids? All the websites and machine metrics don't seem to separate bidding price from the on-demand price, and no statistics on their occupancy rates. Do you find bidding a good way to attract competitive offers? How do you set the minimal bidding price and does the bid price sometime even exceed the on-demand price? I guess for renters they have no way to see both the on-demand and bidding price for the same machine, since their search results are on separate webpages.
