The speed register is located at $C036.  If the high bit is set then the Apple
IIGS is running at 2.8MHz.  If the high bit is not set then it is running at
1MHz.  There are other bits in the register that you don't want to mess with,
so if you do change the speed make sure that you don't change the other bits.
I don't remember doing it from Applesoft BASIC but I don't see why you couldn't
peek, modify and poke.
