One thing to note is that you can apparently get a ~30% heavy use speedup by adding a thermal pad between the CPU and the case. Stock, the Neo has a 6W TDP, but thermal throttles to 3W after <1s of multicore work because there is no heat dissipation for the chip. With an $8 thermal pad, the CPU can stay at 6W because it no longer hits 105C instantly.

good tip, just offload the heavy stuff to a vps and keep the neo for light tasks. thermal pad helps but why fight the hardware when you can throw compute elsewhere
