Yes, I do understand I'm asking for trouble, though I kinda expected to
see more noise rather than less.
I guess its time to break out the soldering iron.

Using 74AC parts on what I think of as a pluggable breadboard (e.g.
http://uk.farnell.com/jsp/search/productdetail.jsp?SKU=2295705&MER=bn-me-ca-r1-best-sto-5)
is asking for trouble. The parts are RF fast and the pluggable board has not very
good contact resistance and certainly more inductance and shunt capacitance than is
good for RF. I would highly recommend using dead-bug style on a solid copper plane,
as provided by a chunk of unetched PCB material. (Jim Williams did a few like that,
see

This approach allows for extremely short lead lengths and power supply bypassing
(to the plane) with a near zero lead length capacitor.
