Bframes would be lowered or raised, refs decreased or increased, etc. It would be very useful if performing faster than a certain speed is crucial. The only issues I'd foresee is that certain options (like bframes) probably can't be changed very easily in the middle of encoding.
bframes (the amount used in a GOP not the parameter per se) can change naturally based on the material. Changing that as a parameter mid-stream (from 3 to 0 for example) is trivial. other parameters require changing the sps/pps which is more significant but doable. Some encoders do this but usually based on changes in a section of the source, not to meet a speed requirement.
It would be interesting for the sake of better quality @ same bitrate. Doing it for encoding fps sake doesnt seem a good enough reason IMHO.
