The test is performed by studying the long range correlations between consecutive configurations of a physical quantity, i.e. the correlation of Polyakov loops. The overrelaxed algorithm performs definitely better than a simple heat bath (Cabibbo-Marinari algorithm) on such an extended quantity. Instead, on a local quantity like the energy a similar test would lead to equivalent results.
