That would be long enought for most of us, and then, we use up the component
better. We could probably cram out even more juice from it by letting leftover
PAL fields do additional shift registers, but that would be somewhat sinister.

Another benefit of such approach is that you could rather freely select almost
any clock available.

What could be done pretty easy is to program up diffrent lengths, so that
people could have access to shorter lengths if they so wishes.

Cheers,
Magnus
