Double PAL/NTSC will use double chip bandwidth, so deeper screens (>16 colors) may become really slow, regardless of CPU speed.

Displaying a Double PAL (or Superhires) screen with 256 colors will use up ALL available bandwidth in the scanline. Any screen manipulation by CPU or blitter can only happen during the rather brief horizontal and vertical blanking periods.
