I have the knowledge that the processor for 2005 runs through 38 loops per second, but this year the speed is higher, that i know but i have no knowledge of how fast it is this year, and it is essential to my code, so if anyone has the information or knows where to find it, please tell me. Thank you all who read this and at least attempted to find the answer if you didn't know it already. i am certian that out of the thousand or so programmers here there is at least one that knows what the processor speed is!

It's the same this year as last year. The slow loop is related to the frequency of the radio packets from the OI and that hasn't changed.
Look in main.c where it says

if(statusflag.NEW_SPI_DATA) /* 26.2 ms loop area */

1/.0262=38.17 loops per second

The new controller gives us more program and data memory (and a few technical differences or "features"), but most everything else is the same.

Features??? You must mean bugs. ;)
