That depends on how much time is spent shifting bits to the strips. It probably halves the theoretical max update rate

I also hope we get more strips that do 24V or at least 12V. 5V is just ridiculous for bigger strings.

Take a look at some of the conversations in that FB group around 12V vs 5V strips. Quite a few people thing 5V with proper injection is better, if I recall the conversation correctly
