Aye sir. The boost from this is better than I thought. The difference is
sometimes 2x and more!

The worst ones I'm pretty sure are false/coincidental. I manually
re-tested some of the best ones and it's true: They really auto-tune to
2.5x faster speed than before.
I'm currently testing Tahiti/Titan on super.
On another note, AMD's 15.7 driver seem to have re-gained RAR and other
formats' speed (even before the autotune changes). It was way slower for
several versions of the driver (including 14.9 which is our best tested
version ever).
