I would suppose that TIOS reads the LCD driver status properly, and
decides about writing based on the reading. There's a bit which tells you
if the driver is ready to accept the next command. That seems to be
logical, so it will work on any clockrate.

Yes, but it does much less, too...

I would never scroll by redrawing the whole screen... A collective binary
shift is obviously much faster than drawing lots of clipped unaligned
sprites. Smooth scrolling can be done at a rate of 60-80 fps, that leaves
quite much time for other things as well - going above 15 fps doesn't
really make sense on a slow LCD display.
