Have you checked the actual elapsed time with a stopwatch? I remember reading somewhere about this, and it may be to do with the way BOINC captures the elapsed time not being real-world accurate if the CPU use setting is below 100%.

If it is working, then that's going to be an awesome boost. But the simple stop-watch test is probably worth doing. After all, it doesn't make sense that using less CPU power makes the task faster.
