while I can't say that it's necessarily 10%, most microprocessors, microcontrollers and FPGA applications run at a much higher frequency internally than what is available to any application outside the chip.
I was in a Dual Major EE/CS degree program at a university in Canada, and most of the friends I had in the same program finished. I quit the CS side of it because I found out later that I really hated CS. I'm a hardware guy all the way, but yes, the workload is approximately doubled. It's still possible though. In my Dual degree program, I was doing 16 or 17 courses a year. Lots of work. Possible.
Honestly, people. Who are we trying to fool? Engineers and CS people are both designing things. Some are physical, some are abstract, and some are a mixture of both. Why do you think so many Electrical Engineers also do Computer Science degrees?
They are so closely related it's hard to differentiate the two...

Christopher Walken is the man... that's all I have to say about that.
