Yes. It saves me around 48 hours on a large ray-traced animation render. I
consider that worth it. THat means if I render a video (which I do quite
often) I get full use of the PC back 2 days earlier.

More than 20% actually. Average of about 48% due to the 50% increase on RAM
timings which are a large factor.

Yes, but having large scale server systems in a living room isn't exactly
practical. FOr one thing they're quite large and they also get very hot. If
I had the money I would have bought an Amulet asynchronus processor which is
about 200 times faster than the fastest clocked CPU.

Nope. Public floggings are good for the soul...... man.... yeah.
