Should be able to fix a bunch of stuff. Slowdowns, missed frames, etc.

The game only has a limited amount of time to do all of its logic before the VSYNC interrupt forces it to draw to the screen. Game have different ways of handling this, e.g. by rolling back and abandoning the changes, drawing whatever they have, etc.

A faster clock should make it s/t games that don't always get done in time should at least have a better chance.
