More than likely an issue with the AGA chipset speed rather than brute force CPU speed. Same thing with PCs at the time, ISA was useless for MAME, you needed local bus or PCI (with the same CPU speed) to get it working usually.

Running old 80s games of the Donkey Kong era via MAME on ECS/AGA chipset is probably an exercise in futility to be honest. So the AGA not the 060 is the problem at the moment (and when you get some sort of graphics card solution then you can investigate the CPU power shortfall for newer games).
