Not on the C128 either.  It'll switch the processor to single clock for
the 5 refresh cycles.  Since the TED only has 57 single cycles per line as
opposed to the 63 or 65 of the VIC-IIe, the refresh cycles are a real
nuisance when writing copper effects for double clock mode.  Levente once
sent me a nice DYCP copper scroller that had broader "pixels" (generated
by changing the background color) near the right border.

Yes.  Nothing contradictory to my experience so far.
