Faster == hotter. I remember a seminar about 40 years ago when CMOS was 
coming into its own and touted as low power. The dirty little secret was 
the power required to switch capacitive loads is a function of the voltage 
and frequency so the dynamic power dissipation exceeded that of 74LS parts 
when you drove them hard.

A lot has changed since then but I'm not waiting for a miracle.
