IMHO reporting SLFM and FSB dynamic switching comes with it's own problems. Whether to report an "effective BCLK with technically correct multi" or a "technically correct BCLK with effective multi".
While using an "effective BCLK" may show a technically correct multi it does have some disadvantages. For instance when showing a multi of 6x the user now has to check BCLK or Freq to see if it's say 133 x 6 or 266 x 6 whereas using an effective multi (3x) it is immediately obvious. Also note that in the above screen shot showing a 5x multi (0.99.7.1 now shows 5.0 too), technically it is a 10x multi with SLFM enabled 100% of the time. You can see how this can get very confusing. At least your not having to show FSB which would make things even harder while dynamic switching is involved.
Though neither method is perfect I would have thought the "effective multi" would be the better way to go, after all this is the ratio that you are calculating using the performance counters. Just a personal thought and whatever you decide do remember the saying "you can't please all the people all of the time".
