Don't get me wrong, I enjoy my ATI cards, but it's amusing most of the NVIDIA update was "We're making THIS faster, and THIS thing is even better now..." and the ATI update is all "THIS doesn't cause crashes anymore and THIS thing actually works properly now..."
I'd just be happy if I could see CCC load as fast on my newish computer as it does on an older machine I have with CCC 8.something and a Radeon x1950... or maybe I'm doing something wrong.
NullenVoyd, AMD has had a commitment to releasing a new driver every 30 days for a while now. Sometimes they amp up performance, sometimes they just fix some bugs, occasionally they hit a little of each.
CCC is just a control panel, an interface for controlling driver settings. I highly doubt CCC is causing the crashes and lags; those can be due to the driver.
I don't use CCC for anything and it is disabled in my startup programs. For overclocking, ATI Tray Tools works much better for my HD 4850.
I found that making the fan speed curve more aggressive on my 5870 has basically stopped all grey screen crashes. I used the msi afterburner program to do it.

I've gone from 10.1 to 10.5 and updated to the newest iTunes. Frustrating.
