Innarestin'.  Sort of the same futility the PC line ran into with motherboard
speeds.  I had always heard rumors of the IIgs plus, and really, that's about
the only project that could get me back into computers.  There's no reason the
6502 couldn't scale as well as its cousin the 68000, and be as powerful.
