Works like a charm!

There are side effects, however. They are minor annoyances, for example in responsive mode, the editor might take more than 30 ms to redraw the command line, causing the system to hit the turbo. Try to edit a long list and hold the cursor right, you'll see a little jerkiness when the high speed kicks in, the cursor "catches up" by moving faster then back to normal speed.
Also, clock switching requires adjusting the display clock, which in turn resets the grayscale dithering generator. If you edit a large multiline text, select the entire text (so there's large gray areas), then hold cursor up or down to scroll line by line and you'll notice how on every clock change the gray color "freezes" showing a dithered pattern. It's a flash, but can be annoying when repeated.
It does feel much more responsive, though, but after a short while I ended up back at the original setting on my calc because I edit a lot of test programs.

PS: Are you aware that TEVAL is implemented already?
