Do these options actually work?  IE, can I run a game at 8Mhz, have
all the sprites running around 8X normal speed, but the audio sounds ?
normal? and the joystick reads report ?normal? values?

Yes, they work fine.

However, if the paddles are being read constantly, and the speaker
is usually making sound, then the accelerator will be slowed down
for a significant fraction of the time, affecting all processing.

You have to try it with a particular game to see how much it is
accelerated.
