I installed 7.3. And, all is perfectly OK. The Catalyst Control Panel now is stable. And, I documented my first improvement, a very small one (about .2%), from a Control Panel adjustment. I simply increased my Standard 3D settings by one notch towards improved performance. Nothing else I do in the direction of increased performance seems to make a difference overall, and increasing the standard settings one more notch seems to accomplish nothing overall. Below are my before and after overall results from PassMark. Incidentally, using Catalyst overclocking does not work well for me. No matter how I set it things go south.
With ReadyBoost/NTSF/7.2:

With ReadyBoost/NTFS/7.3/Minor Card Adjustment (no apparent effect on quality):
