I see there's a 3-4 year old thread on the Mikrotik forum about this, some people talk about the CPU being overclocked from 1000 to 1200 MHz, is this a thing? Later in the thread it is implied that they come this way from the factory.

I would say its more likely if you don't beat them and expect them to do more than they can they will work for you well. If you try to beat them in to submission they will just fall over and play dead.
