Tales and Chronicles
Jewel of the North, formerly know as vincegetorix
I use it as a rough guideline, with the help of KFC. It gives me a ballparck estimation of the type of combat challenge my group is SUPPOSED to have in theory.
But...my group of players suck.
I mean, they are my best friends in the whole world, but damn they are bad at playing D&D. If I described a room with 2 doors and 5 orcs, they would rush to attack the doors and attempt to check for traps and unlock the orcs. Yup, that bad.
So I think that in my particular taste, the inefficiency of CR in general is due to my group inefficiency
