You will see ~12% and ~22% performance difference between 2.26 vs 2.66 and 2.26 vs 2.93GHz MAC for single threaded applications (mostly client applications that tend to be cache bound and are more latency sensitive than throughput sensitive). The difference will be correspondingly smaller for multi-threaded applications since the power envelope limits the freq depending on application. Have heard good things about flash drives; jury out on their reliability (they use some wear-leveling algorithms to even out usage since the flash cells have limited write cycles).
