As far as I know (and I've worked with 6809's for about five years
now), the fastest 6809 version runs at 8Mhz external quadrature clock
which translates to 2Mhz internal clock (500 nSec/cycle).  Since the
fastest instructions take up at least 2 cycles, you wind up with
maximum 1 instruction/uSec.  This is the fastest in the 68xx family.
There are other 68xx clone makers (Hitachi springs to mind), but none,
to my knowledge, have anything faster.

On the off chance that you do find a faster version, could you please
drop me a line over e-mail.

Thanks,
