Nothing wrong with "free" speed upgrades. I wonder if there is a possibility with long term issues though?

From the post:

>The world of the overclocker contains many arcane tweaks to squeeze the last drops of performance from a computer, many of which require expert knowledge to understand. Happily for Raspberry Pi 5 owners the Pi engineers have come up with a set of tweaks you don’t have to be an overclocker to benefit from, working on the DRAM timings to extract a healthy speed boost. Serial Pi hacker [Jeff Geerling] has tested them and thinks they should be good for as much as 20% boost on a stock board. When overclocked to 3.2 GHz, he found an unbelievable 32% increase in performance.

Let us know if you notice a difference. I don't have a RPi5 yet as I already have a bunch of 4's sitting around doing stuff and don't have a reason to upgrade them at the moment.
