The CIAs in a C128 are 1MHz models and as far as I understand it, even 
if the CPU runs at 2MHz, the CIAs still run at 1MHz and the CPU clock is 
'stretched' to a 1MHz cycle if a CIA (and SID?) access is detected.

So running the C128 at 2MHz will make the copy loop faster, but not 
quite twice as fast.
