Yeah, from here on in, the only way you're probably going to get any more juice out of the memory is to muck about with the secondary timings and that's a whole new ball of wax which takes quite some time and a lot of effort.

Best bet is to play with what you've got for a while to make sure it's absolutely stable and then think about spending a weekend somewhere down the line to play with the secondary timings.

Secondary timing tweaking can be mind numbing, but I've managed to eek out 3%+ gains to benchmarks like super-pi (I think it also has a fair amount of effect on other pure # crunching apps like folding).

It's not for the weak of heart though.... a "too tight" secondary timing will more often than not require a hard c-mos reset to get the board to boot again so it's quite time intensive.
