"Don't you mean to say that even if the CPU increases by 2x, Sysmark won't increase by that much because sysmark tests the response time of the whole system."

Yes, you are correct. We can see this kind of "flat"
behavior on many applications, Quake for example.
However, I must apologize for including hard drives
in my list, and maybe polygons were a stretch too,
which may create some confusion (unless you read
the "increase in system clock" as the "clock in
every peripheral", including disk r.p.m and MR-head
clocking as well ).

In some cases it is much more efficient to overclock
the whole system while dropping the CPU multipler
(to stay within CPU operating limit), e.g. Xilinx
FPGA development software.
