Last my testing was done with SPI VGA panel connected and I ran few FB based
tests with more or less good FPS numbers. So, I can't tell about notable user
impact. Feel free not to add for stable.

Btw, I have tested via DMA test, where it's indeed at least visible, but still
memory-to-memory is not what that DMA is used for.
