Old Games. Programmers used to rely on the fact that the processor ran 
at a brisk 4mhz, 12+mhz caused the game to run too fast to be playable.

No, you must cram it full of LEDs! Not only does it need to be bright to 
get the speed gain, but it has to be blindingly bright. Because 
Blindingly bright = Blindingly fast, you see.

for an extra  15%  add a few fans with a flashing multi-color light 
show. You know the kind ...
