Because we can.

and some people will come back on this and say - "Because they have nothing better to do!"

Whatever floats your boat though - it is harmless pretty much, but I think anything that becomes obsessional should be kept in check and with th eway processors can handle things and continue to obey Moores Law O/Cing is nto something that is really done for a practical payback anymore - it is somewhat akin to "showing off" these days, whereas in the past on a budget you really NEEDED to wring out every last CPU cycle you could get your machine to deliver to you - also then chips had wider tolerances and greater potential for overclocking , perhaps...?

Some, will have something better to do, but you still can.

But yeah, way back when we did it for need. Now we do it for fun and some for "oneupmanship". If it's not overly ridiculous, it's still fun.
