I was able to run my Coco 1 in FAST mode for several seconds before
DRAM started to lose data... not a few milliseconds.  I think it took
well over 4.5 seconds for RAM to start to corrupt but I haven't run
the tests since I was 16.

I used POKE 65497,0 in a BASIC program that would turn a 3D model into
a series of DRAW strings that could be used for a 3D animation.
As long as you checked the timer and changed the speed to normal every
few seconds you didn't lose anything.
