Just type in search skip chain. Test have been run on a 066 with skip and full comp.
I have both full skip and full comp for my 20 inch bar. They seem to average out to cut about the same overall. Skip's a little slower to cut in hardwood for me, but it runs faster and is harder to bog. It gets dull faster. Saw has better response with skip though. If you are racing and only making a few cuts in lighter wood (ie., fir), skip may well run better. The type of cutting heads and the angle that they are sharpened is probably going to make a bigger difference. Sharper angle gets dull faster, but oh does it cut better when its sharp. I flipped back to 30 degrees from 35 for a longer sharpness duty cycle.
