And aren't you missing that point that what was described is impossible? A MAC address has absolutely nothing to do with performance. Other than it systems that filter on MACs, it should make absolutely no difference what address is used.

The problem is that someone will pass that on as a "fix". Next, people who don't know what they're doing will attempt to "fix" something and in the process, may create more problems.
