Love the simple/elegant/powerful idea of driving the CPU clock from code running on RPI/Linux. It sidesteps the difficulty of efficiently doing bitbanging on RPI/Linux in a neat way.

The idea is fantastic. It would make a great computer architecture lab asignment.

Yeah, you get a way of easily doing a GUI via HDMI or X over IP or whatever, much easier development for most people and lose some performance you don't really care about anyway in that situation.
