    A cold LCD can't update smoothly at 25fps in fact 5fps would be a challenge.

    Can you store the static LCD data in the PIC program flash memory using EXT instead of the eeprom.

    Average 1602 LCD can do 20 FPS. Black on green (or white) are generally faster than white on blue. About 2-3 times faster. VATN LCD are even faster, but having same price as OLED, I see no point of using them.
    OLED and VFD can do 60-100 FPS.
    All tested with PBP. This is not an issue.
