Fresh Rom 2.3.3.. not fast enough!!??

[evilpenguin123]

Okay so lets skip the fore play and jump right into business shall we?
I have an HTC Hero200 by Sprint.. Rooted, currently running Buufed 2.0.3
and its not a bad OS and im liking it how ever a few friends of mine were looking for something closer to the original HTC Software... aaannnndd since Fresh uses the HTC Sense i decided id give it a shot. Its got high rating amongst users and looks pretty stable... !!HOWEVER!!... I am not getting anywhere near close the speed i am with Buufed.. i realize fresh doesnt come with a particular overclock kernel so i downloaded one.. its going at max of 768Mhz but it still doesnt seem as fast as Buufed.. and it isnt.. im at 787Mhz on Buufed.. Also Buufed on Linpack has my phone rated at a nice 4.7MFLOPS and with fresh im pushin along at MAYBE 3.3MFLOPS..

So i am asking the public, IS there any answers to this? A faster Kernel perhaps?
