The stock 1500 Mbps (the P4 maximum) makes the DSI transmit each line in a tight burst, so the framebuffer reads are bursty and lose the PSRAM bus to the Wi-Fi SDIO DMA under load. 720 spreads the read out and tolerates the contention. Espressif's documented underrun mitigation; the floor at this pixel clock is ~480 Mbps.
