While playing with the ADC clock and the USI 4-bit timer, I noticed odd things at 4MHz clock speed when using V2.0.0. Then I noticed that delay() was also off at 4MHz.

This sketch should demonstrate the issue, as it's supposed to produces 100Hz on PB1 at 16, 8, 4, 2 and 1MHz

void setup() {
  pinMode(LED_BUILTIN, OUTPUT);
}

void loop() {  // 100Hz on pin PB1
  digitalWrite(LED_BUILTIN, HIGH);
  delay(5);
  digitalWrite(LED_BUILTIN, LOW);
  delay(5);
}

The results are:

16MHz PLL : 100Hz 8MHz internal osc : 100Hz 4MHz internal osc : 25Hz 2MHz internal osc : 50Hz 1MHz internal osc : 100Hz

I looked in wiring.c if i could see something obvious going wrong with the clock prescaling but could not find a cause.

I suspected it has to do with clock prescaling, because the ADC clock (manually prescaled by me) also slowed down by a factor 8 while I expected a factor 2 when I switched from 8MHz to 4MHz.

On the board managers release 1.5.2 the delay worked fine and I got 100Hz on all clock frequencies.
