From 3.11.4 in the manual:

Quote:
A BOILER processes FUEL in to steam at an average rate of five (5) FUEL per second per GOAL, but actual rate is dependent on the amount and packing of FUEL in the GOALS (i.e. the tighter the packing in a GOAL, the faster the FUEL processing rate).
From this I'd say it's spinning faster but if there aren't many balls, it will average 5/s.
