It will certainly slow down the game...

How do you handle fire teams, as little squads with morale limitations
tied to
the squad as a whole? 

If you operate with a squad = 2 fire teams, then yes, allowing two fire
actions will bog down the game.

However, some of us are heretics and assume that fire teams are
abstracted
into the squad rules. A squad -- in spite of being made up of a number
of
figures -- is the lowest unit in the game, much like a single squad
counter in
Advanced Squad Leader. In this case, allowing units to fire twice won't
bog
down the game quite as much. Your analysis that squads will slow down is
well
taken, though.
