OK, I tried the exact sequence you suggested.  With "adjust ticks" checked, the
speed index came out relatively high (as high as 1.74), but the CLOCK NEVER
MATCHED a stopwatch.  It was always slow, though less and less slow as I
decreased the MHz (and YES, I definitely did the speed index first thing after
adjusting the MHz).

With "adjust ticks" UNchecked, the speed index comes out relatively low (1.24),
but Tiger's clock (which I checked AFTER doing the speed index test) matched a
stopwatch perfectly.

Now I'm even more confused!
