2x; very much noticeable.  I'll have to do a video or something.

The screen io is 2x faster.  It is fed through the PIO chip which is
running in step with the cpu.

In order to keep the serial port running at expected rates, the timer
portion of the PIO needs a 2.5 MHz clock though.

To keep software compatibility, it makes sense to keep the serial port
running at the correct rate.

Last comment:  in my speed tests last year I found I could speed things up
quite a bit faster than 5 MHz..maybe 8MHz, until the screen finally halts
the machine.  So the LCD is the ultimate bottleneck.  5 seems comfortable.
