I would venture a guess that the real problem is an application design or implementation error. The faster CPU speed has simply exposed the flaw in the application that was already there, yet undetected until now. "New CPU too fast" is not the cause, only the necessary and sufficient condition to expose the symptom. Jeffrey D.
