The obvious conclusion is that by doubling your distance to the screen, you double your computers speed! ;-)
(in truth, I really like this image, though. On a similar note, I think I recently saw a number for the length of wiring in a modern cpu (ryzen review perhaps) - and it was a rather staggering number from the fractal layout of modern chips - 200 meters perhaps? In a square little more than 2 cm to a side, if that?)
