Yeah, sure it's possible to decrease the framerate.
But with 30fps it just looks jaggy for a bit faster sprite movement (in my game you can use an elevator to go to different floors of the house... this house is then scrolled up or down with a dY-speed which does not look smooth when using 30fps).
So this would not be the solution I would use - and when doing some more complex gfx, the framerate was kind of slower than 30 fps (some reported 5-10 fps when others reported >200fps ... so the difference of hardware my/our users have is to huge to take such a simple solution).
Me: "hey you will have to buy a new graphics-card, your 5yrs old thingy isn't having the performance needed to play a 800x600 2d-game"
Someone: " Yeah, but your SDL-sample some years ago achieved 500fps in the same scenario while now only 70fps are hardly possible."
