The Marathon 030 *is* an accelerator.  It's a 16Mhz 68030.  It uses the 
memory that's already in your Mac and for those of you with SE's that use 
the slot for Ethernet or a video card, you'll be happy to know that the 
Marathon 030 does not use the slot (ie. you can keep your Ethernet or 
video card).  At MacWorld, Dove had an accelerated Plus and SE and the 
speed was excellent.  Both machines had 4MB of RAM but they were running 
10MB with Virtual.  Personally,  I have used Dove's 32Mhz Marathon 030 in 
a Mac II and it's equally as good.  IMHO, for the price, you can't beat 
them.
