The real question is "do I enjoy this enough to do this?"

When someone smelts my ashes... they may find a horrifying amount of plutonium... (New Jersey, ya know?) ;D

There is no one answer unless you refine the same material all the time and that will also have the caveat on the quantity, it will also depend on what chemicals you use to process that scrap and which processes you use.
Low yield scrap is the most costly in time and money as you use more acids / chemicals which is why refiners charge more to process it.

For low yield scrap I like to do an alloy mix. Melting gold and silver in you refine. Saves on chems then doing separately I think.
