Using the client for SSE2 and Athlon 64 I complete the reference WU in

SSE3 and Athlon/Turion 64 should be faster, right?

Yes, with reservations....the person doing the optimising may not do a
really good job or now how to optimise as the person that did the
regular client. There have been instances of optimised clients being
slower than the regular one. Generally speaking the optimised
clientsare MUCH faster than the regular versions. Tetsuji does a
really good job for example, there are others that do well too.
Here is the site for some of the optimised ones, they are all good.
