YES!!! I REMEMBER DOING JUST THAT!
The 2 guys had spent days trying to get the machine up and running, and seemed
to be having problems and I said for a laugh why not press the 'do things more
carefully' button, and lo and behold, it worked. Can still remember the look on
both their faces to this day.

on Multimate (word processor).
Had to go slow to get through the "copy protection" stuff every time I
ran it.
This was on a 33 Mhz 486 IIRC.

Yeah.
I had 80286 clone that could run at a blazing 12MHz. The IBM PC AT that it was
a clone of ran at only 6MHz. Either the BIOS or the operating system (DOS 3.1)
couldn't handle the awesome speed of my computer when accessing the floppy
drives (some sort of hard-coded timing loops), so it automatically dropped out
of turbo every time it touched the floppies. You could see the turbo light
flicker.
I also remember an 8088 IBM PC that had been upgraded with a faster chip (8MHz,
I think), but you had to turn off turbo to format floppies.
