The settings I had on my 748 were done over a period of 6 years so each adjustment was done "a bit at a time". The main reason I ended up with the hub at 9o'clock was that I put a 39T sprocket on but didn't get a longer chain (DOH!!!) - however, I found that it still handled nicely and wasn't TOO frisky so so I left it like that!
The reason that I am now keen to replicate these settings is that I know that they work for me - however the problem appears to be that even though I am close to the same settings (hub is now at more normal 6o'clock poition), it is nowhere near as nice to ride. That's what is puzzling me. It's miles out and as I said, it feels downright dangerous!!
