Depends on the situation. For example in my setup running a cpu bound application like dolphin on my cpu with a low stock core clock rate. A 33% increase in core/FSB clock does indeed yield a 33% speedup.
A lot of sites have done these types of benchmarks and shown that in scientific/visual (or anything heavily multithreaded for that matter) apps the speedup tends to be linear until about 3.6-3.8GHz depending on the cpu, then they usually run into a bus bottleneck. But you can go even higher than that with many modern cpus and still get a linear speedup if you overclock QPI/HTT and IMC/Mem. Of course it also depends on the application.
