Have you ever shot film at ASA 1600? If not, then count your blessings. Until digital photography, 3200 ASA was unheard-of except with extreme pushing or surveillance film. When I push Tri-X to 1600 in diafine, I'm lucky to get the equivalent of 3 megapixels of image data from a 35mm film frame, because the grain is so large (not necessarily good or bad, just what it is.
You're shooting your 10MP EOS-40, complaining that at ISO 3200 your images might not be totally clear. "ISO 3200 without having to worry about it"...
Come on. This is like asking for a car that can drive 180 miles per hour without overheating. Camera and sensor technology has made incredible strides, but don't kid yourself about what you expect or need from your hardware.
