Default Experience of using high LiPo charge rates

Hi
Rather than hijack someones elses thread I thought I would start my own. After contributing to another thread on charger selection, some of the posts that have been made subsequent to my original post have got me wondering if my LiPo management practices of never charging at greater than 1C, may be overly conservative with modern packs.
So I thought I would ask the following questions.

1) What are peoples experiences at charging at greater than 1C, what charge rate are you using
2) What cycle life are you getting out of your packs
3) What make of LiPo are you using?

Thanks in advance for indulging my curiosity.

Mike
