I've spent quite some time optimizing remote X-video.

Yes, they should. And the frequency seems reasonable
(I have 16.64 MHz here).

Again, this is a reasonable value.

A few things to try:

i) What happens if you insert a return at the top of
newworld_timer_hack() in src/booter/nwbooter/init.c?

ii) Multiply or divide mregs->gpr[3] by 2 at the end
of the function in i).
