I quite agree with Daryl. It is shallow to think that 
speed is an *essential* feature of intelligence. 
A trivial example: Are you (Roland) really happy or 
convince that a small PC machine, which *essentially* computes 
even simple multiplication faster than you, an intelligence machine 
or it is smarter than you are in this regard.
