Regarding 'eg:-', I got this habit from school days. On exams, I usually
write for eg:- to provide some examples.

OK, Will remove '-' after 'eg:'.

Yes, I can put back the real example from v2, if that is useful.
533MHz->400 MHz is a big jump due to this rounding error and it has
impacted the performance.

Waiting for Geert's feedback.
