If it were that simple I'm sure it would have been done already. I hear the PowerVR drivers are generally terrible anyway.

VSync on the graphics layer (hildon), and graphics acceleration on the graphics layer (again, hildon) would be kinda nice - like my first generation iPod Touch for instance.
Again, if it were that simple it would have been done. Compositing is a huge pain and, IIRC, vsync is a problem even on desktop Linux.

It's just not worth the performance trade off for the features.
Funny, graphics have never been a source of slowdown for me. It's almost always disk activity or heavy cpu usage by something. All of which has improved in PR1.3. That and fancy graphics were only a "nice to have" for me, or I would have bought an iPhone

All problems on overclocked devices are suspect. I'd ignore anything reported as a bug unless it was confirmed to occur at stock clock.
