Just did the resistor swap in my LC630 tonight to bump it up to 40MHz. I do have a real 33MHz 68040 chip and a heatsink that I stole from a Q700.

Successful results, OS 8.1 is a LOT more snappy. Significantly better video performance. Dark Forces is actually playable in full screen! I shoulda done the mod years ago but this is THE single most finicky computer I've ever owned...so... I was a little skeered.

Speedometer before/after results:

CPU............1.13.......1.41

Graphics.......1.05.......1.33

Disk............2.71.......2.81

Math...........19.23......23.88

P/R.............1.39.......1.71
