:-)  Mode 0 is dithered. Takes time to do that. Try MODE 1 instead. :-)

If you are feeling particularly masochistic, kill off some system modules
you don't need, remove Apps: and so on... Should be able to get your system
up to about 600 polls sec -1.

Maximum possible (with nearly everything unplugged) is 900 polls sec -1.
Dead-boot gives you about 550 polls sec -1 which quickly drops to around 120
polls sec -1 (as soon as it needs to keep paging stuff in and out).

Benchmark machine: 4Mb 25MHz A5000.

To be honest, I don't think you'll notice much more in the way of data
transfer. :-)
