I thought that this was something that was more wide spread in knowledge -
especially on a list such as this.

I've never tried that (nor did I know that it was supposed to automatically
get faster - I've always seen BIOS defaults as just that, defaults). I just
go into the BIOS see what the settings are called, flip through all the
options and leave settings on what I think is the best option. One can of
course RTFM but I'm not into that (and this is probably one of the
strongest reasons why I don't use Linux).
