At 378MHz about 1MHZ seems to be the limit.

Let it go much higher and it locks up.

with this one

> setpin 4,pwm :setpin 9,fin :dim integer n=900000, m
> do:pwm 1,n,50:pause 99:m=pin(9):pause 1100:?n,m :inc n,10000:loop

managed to stop it before it locked up, it was printing less than one character per second.

It took about a minute to do this:-

> memory
Program:
  2K ( 1%) Program (64 lines)
118K (99%) Free

RAM:
  1K ( 1%) 2 Variables
  0K ( 0%) General
151K (99%) Free

Until the power is cycled it stays that way.

Edit
Setpin 9,off

Can restore normality.
