Regarding Loop frequency

The main issue would be that you could do less each iteration. With a 50Hz rep rate, you get 200ms to do what you have to do. With a 200ms rate, you only get 50ms. It's also entirely possible that the 50Hz rate is controlled by a hardware timer; I'm not familiar with the internals.

And I concur with Alexander and Jared below that 50 Hz would not be noticeable lag from the controls, though higher rates would be in order for many PIDs and other sensor-driven activities.
