Umm good luck getting enough photons to see anything. Shot noise

So shoot at 1 quad, and average 1000 frames to one output frame? Light will still be moving less than 1mm per frame.

Pretty sure the light is integrated over a frame anyway, so that will get you the same results as just shooting at the lower framerate.
