Overclock the 6502?

I've been keeping an eye on the ZX Spectrum Next, and one of the features they've put in is a turbo button to run the Z80 at 7MHz rather than 3.5MHz

I never had a speccy to tell, but it seems make a difference without just playing the whole thing at twice the speed.

Would a similar thing be doable on a C64? and would it actually provide any benefit to any games or apps?

I'm also curious how their colour upgrade example in Cybernoid 2 works, unless it's a patched game
