NodeMCU ESP8226 - Fast ADC

Hi all,

Has anyone played around with the ADC on the ESP8226? I'm trying to boost my sample rate which is currently at 9.5kHz with the code below. I reckon it can go a lot faster given that the chip's clock frequency is 26-52 MHz. I've tried adjusting the prescaler which works on the ATMega chips but I can't find any examples or literature to supports this on the ESP8226.

//#define FASTADC 1       // defines for setting and clearing register bits
//#ifndef cbi
//#define cbi(sfr, bit) (_SFR_BYTE(sfr) &= ~_BV(bit))
//#endif
//#ifndef sbi
//#define sbi(sfr, bit) (_SFR_BYTE(sfr) |= _BV(bit))
//#endif

#include <ESP8266WiFi.h>

int i;
int z[1000];
unsigned long t[1000];

void setup() {

  Serial.begin(115200);

//  #if FASTADC
//  // set prescale to 16
//  sbi(ADCSRA, ADPS2) ;
//  cbi(ADCSRA, ADPS1) ;
//  cbi(ADCSRA, ADPS0) ;
//#endif


}

void loop() {
  for(i=0;i<1000;i++){
    z[i] = analogRead(A0);
    t[i] = micros();
    delayMicroseconds(10);
    }

  for(i=0;i<1000;i++){
    Serial.println(z[i]); 
    Serial.print("\t"); 
    Serial.println(t[i]); 
    }
  delay(1000);

}
