DISCLAIMER: When it comes to Hardware, I'm dumb as dirt.

On a related topic, I've read here that with a 68030 or 40 CPU, it would
be faster to draw the graphics using the CPU, because the custom chips
still run at 8Mhz.

Why can't the custom chips simply be made to run at a faster clock rate?
(i.e. a 68030 can run at 16, 25, 50Mhz, why can't Agnus et. al.?)
