It's never been proved that it doesn't damage your CPU.  That would be the only
other side effect.  One thing though.  If your calc is turboed, it runs at a
constant speed right?  There is no more RC circuit that slows down with battery
power anymore.  This could open up new opportunities.  Also, I would be
interested to know if it would be at all possible to simply put a crystal in
there in place of the RC circuit.  Couldn't you just short out whatever
resistor it is, and place the crystal across the capacitor space?  (Too bad
noone will try it out, since it would kinda destroy the calc if it doesn't
work!)
