Everybody says that it'll bring the CPU to its knees, but I always  
thought that sounded a little fishy.  There is time to execute  
200,000 instructions at 1kHz, which seems like plenty.

If you do reset the system clock to a kHz or so, I'd be curious to  
hear how things go for you.
Oh, and what board are you using?
