never mind the core and memory, get the latest rivatuner and overclock the shaders... you should get in the order of 6670ppd then...in fact I would guess you could even get 7000 after all it is an ssc.
If I were you I would delete the work, the queue and the unit info files, reboot and start everything running again....maybe even the config too cos something is making this run at half speed
