So would slightly overclocking the hardware be an option do you think?
If the analog XY outputs are fast enough to deal with the actual
drawing, then I can take care of the side effects of the game being
faster by changing the game code a bit. :-) It would be interesting to
see the effects of stepping up the crystal frequency a bit as far as
extra heat, RAM flakiness and vector drawing quality.
