Shouldn't be any difference. However, how fast the water is updated
can't currently be controlled so if the software code can't keep full
speed it will run slower, which I think is the case most of the time.

It's not easy to adjust the speed in the algorithm I use for the water
but having it run multiple times when it's slow should probably work OK.
