Using ESP8266Arduino I get an output of 5.71MHz with cpu freq. of 80MHz and 6.67MHz with a cpu freq. of 160MHz.

Yeah, gpio output (clock?) seems to be limited by something else than simply CPU freq.

- Fri Apr 17, 2015 1:18 pm #14849 When I started thinking about this I had some vague thoughts that since in the ESP-Arduino environment the wifi stack seems to demand a lot of resources, then maybe the higher clock rate would help out somehow.
As I say just a very vague thought.
