Or even simpler, get an HB pencil and draw a line to link the pads. I got
nearly a 50% increase in processor clock speed on one of my early Duron
CPUs.

It's worth a try, and is sometimes well-documented as reliable. But
sometimes CPUs are jumpered at one speed because they failed testing
at a higher one.

Indeed but I did my research and bought from a particular batch at a very
slightly higher price from an overclockers site. It lasted a good couple of
years before it was replaced, after which I took it upto and well beyond
it's limits.
