As for the speed limit on the GPS, I presume it is the rate
at which the computer can identify new positions and the CPU
can calculate, it is just a cheap $125 hand held.


That doesn't make any sense. You can measure your position every 30 seconds
and still get an accurate speed measurement.

Whatever the reason for an upper bound on the displayed speed, it has
nothing to do with the rate at which the computer in the GPS can do
anything, whether identifying new positions, calculating, etc.
