Is it possible to refresh two strings at different rates, on the same uC?

I have 144 APA102’s and 60 WS2812b’s on the same Arduino Pro Mini. I can add both strings, such that FastLED refreshes them together. But I want to refresh the APA’s about twice as often as the WS2812b’s. How would I do that?

Capture the return value of each FastLED.addLeds() call in a CLEDController*, then call .show() on the objects returned.

Thanks for that hint! I now see that calling FastLED.show() just calls .show() for each added group (plus something about dithering).
