Oh yes you have the added advantage of one crook pixel stuffing up a whole vertical line! When I was at the Synchroton in Japan Professor Sukabi showed me his CCD detector for photons from xrays. For time dependant experiments he was only using half of the CCD to collect and then downloading the data to the unexposed part of the CCD. This data was then read by the much slower bottleneck before the next lot of data was collected.
