I've noticed this curious thing. It seems that a 25% overclock results in a 35-45% faster run time of the WU's. Can someone explain to me why my second box, which as of today is back in action, is running the same kinds of tasks in just over half the time it takes my unoverclocked box to do them? Like the title says, the cpu is boosted from the standard i7 950 speed (3.07 GHz) to 3.86 GHz, or about 25%. (Works well as long as it's not too hot outside) |

maybe it was just some very short tasks, but yjr performance seems to be more in line with the overclock now. |
