Faster memory will make image processing quicker. If 3GHz doesn't work, you can try lower frequencies until one that works. Here is one example of processing the same image in darktable on the same system, but with different CPU and memory “speeds”: As already mentioned however, the best improvement would come from using OpenCL in GPU. Here is the same image processed on the same system, but with OpenCL in Radeon Vega:
