Damnit...I want my 20p back.

yes ... you " only " *** laughing *** get 5 million ops a sec ... What a pity ... isn't it ???

looking a bit further ... 16F devices generally can reach 32 Mhz , 16F193x are 32Mhz Nominal ... MalcC realized officially last week 64 Mhz with a 18F45xx ... ( 40 Mhz nominal ) and the new 18F2xK20 are 64Mhz Nominal ...

so, there's room to play somewhat ... before using higher range devices

BUT ... may be you simply could open your datasheed and see what the stuff explained in chapter 6 ( Gated Timer 1 W/ Comp2 ) can do for you ...
