That was my experience. I've got a 044. I've never been able to cut as fast/easy as the first blade I put on it (not knowing what it was). I later bought a 100' spool from Oregon (I think?) and they cut it into loops for me.
I've never been really happy with how it cuts since it doesn't RIP through the wood like my first blade did... over the years, it's dawned on me that this is probably why.
I get more of what I'd call sawdust when I'm cutting verses chips like the first blade put out.
