If you turn POP on, that's just one more thing that your detector has to worry about, thus adding load to your processor. This may be subjective, but I found a slight decrease in peformance on K and Ka bands with POP on my X50. POP is never used in my area without conjunction with Ka guns so I have it turned off. There are waaay too many falses for my liking as well (a lot of Cobra's set off my POP alert)
I'm assuming that overclocking the processor in an RD would help it's performance, unfortunately I don't know if it's possible or why nobody has ever tried it before.
