Before I believe this there are some things I want to know:
1. What is the basis behind the acceleration, eg. is it increasing clock speed (if so how?), is it bypassing system operations.
2. How is it permanent? (eg. altering bios or firmware.
3. Why doesn't anyone else know about this? Like Apple or people who need the power.
I want to try it for myself before I even begin to believe that this sort of software overclocking is possible.

Tried this on a LC 3 at 2x with nothing but crashing. On a G3 400 it made no difference to the Macbench scores and at 10x made no difference to anything but made the clock up the top just go nuts. I believe that by 'Clock doubling' it just makes your date and time clock go faster. Till I see proof otherwise from more people I wouldn't recommend this programme.

Just reread the read me file and this is definitely a hoax. Here's what it says.
After seeing the prices of hardware clock doubler, I realized that the only way to have affordable clock doublers was to write one in software. ClockDoubler, when run, will double the speed of your clock on any Macintosh. It is compatible with all software that I have tried, including MicroPhone, OpenDoc, and the system clock.
Though I'ld be happy to be proven wrong.

You know, I downloaded this just to see it, and I tried the 2x accelerator (I didn't want to try the 10x because of the chip degredation that I read about). It really did seem to speed things up noticibly, but I can't say if it was twice as fast as my Mac had been running before. By the was it was on a PM7600/132. I quit playing around and shut down my mac, so I haven't seen if the effects last after a restart.

All - I was interested in this debate and emailed the author of the program - his reply was as follows:
Can you give me a url to where they are talking about this? I'd like to
clear it up once and for all.
ClockDoubler is a joke I played at MacHack. It does indeed double the
speed of your system clock, not your chip clock. That just means that the
clock in the menu bar (and other clocks) will skip every other second.
BTW, it does not work on anything past system 7.1 because Apple made
changing the system clock non-interupt safe.
