I squeezed about a 19Hz update rate out of an LCD that would only do about 6Hz of full screen refreshes.
So... you can make a little speed go a long way, but it does definitely require sacrifices.

Hey, Just found this.stm32plus: ILI9481 TFT driver | Andys Workshop
And it is doing 15Fps even with debugging code dragging it behind.
Without debugging he is getting 40Fps and up.
