You can solo mine with p2pool and have all your rigs connect to it. You just need to change the sidechain name from default to something else in the config.
As for the 1% loss in hash power, where did you get this statistic, speculation?

Oh I think I have accidentally run P2Pool with other than default name. Once I noticed I was winning every share I just aborted.
I believe the creator mentions in p2pool documentation that latency on the side chain leads to a delay that results in about 1% loss of efficiency. I’ll see if I can look it up.
