amazing speed

after a bit fiddling and chaning my tower case to a new one with a window and and extra fan i firstly notied the temp drop from 59 to 49 on cpu but thwhen i launched dvd2svcd using autoi fid cd and cce 2.50 i was amazed the speed i normally get varies form 1.3 to 2.1 depending on the file but today i reached 2.90+ i am curoius how! i know i have tested any more yet but hey im bloody amazed ive encoded 1hour 32mins of video in only 32 mins!
 
I find some AVI's encode real fast while others are slow. I have not found any common link as to why (not that its important anyway) I also get from 1.3 to 2.1 with most in the 1.5 to 1.8 range on my AMD 2.6

Is it an Intel Pentium 4 ?

From the "burnout" tests at Tom's Hardware, we know that P4's have a very effective thermal backoff - they slow down if they are too hot. I also recall that it IS possible/probable that a P4 may enter thermal limiting under high cpu load conditions.

AMD's run at full speed until they die - motherboard thermal shutdown is possible, but unless using the modified design, too slow.
