Having only dabbled the slightest in hardware... are functional frequencies topping out at 6 kHz useful for memristors in modern computing? I feel like having separate components each magnitudes faster would be better than combining them into a memristor that sounds so slow.

If it enables massively concurrent in-memory compute then the frequency disadvantage could just be scaled away.

  IF you don't care about the issue of moving information, and provided your problem is embarassingly parallel.

    Fortunately, a lot of problems are embarassingly parallel.

Might be enough for microcontrollers and overall simple control applications?

A bunch of mushrooms as a giant 6kHz memory array with in-memory computing seems pretty pointless IRL. But it adds a nice air of plausibility to some sci-fi stories!

If you mean x86 class performance, no, obviously not. But 6kHz is not nothing. For application-specific computers, you can do a lot with very little. You aren't going to be building high performance general purpose computers, but for an atonomous circuit quietly ticking away computing orbital trajectories or stellar navigation, you don't need modern x86 class performance.
