Ummm no... Those options for faster disc read and texture smoothing are for PS1 games only, not for PS2 stuff at all. If it can load the PS2 games faster anyway, why would they make you enable it in a menu? 
The only reason they let you enable/disable it for PS1 stuff is because some PS1 games don't work well with it turned on.
There isn't a 60hz option in the PS2 menu, it's reliant on the games having this option built in (you've probably seen games where they ask you if you want to run in 50 or 60hz when you boot up... eg Tekken 4. 60hz is better for the reasons I said above... ie 50hz PAL struff mostly runs like total shit and is 17% slower then the game should actually run. It was mostly earlier PS2 games that suffered from this, these days a lot of developers either optimize their stuff or put in 60hz options to get around it.
Seriously... go grab Tekken Tag PAL and play it for a bit, and then play the NTSC version. PAL one has big black borders at the top and bottom fo the screen, and runs far far slower so it's almost impossible to time your combos right if you are used to playing it at the proper speed.
