I didn't work with propeller at all. But now I do quick check. And if I
understand correctly the 8 cogs are interleaved by hub. The cog operates
at 20mips (like AVR) but hub rotate by half of that frequency. So more
or less the pixel generation should be done by one cog. other cog may be
used as refresh generator and data upload routine. I think that is not
best suited for that application.. maybe some of ARM chips is better?
