The chess equivalent would be letting Deep Blue take 10 years to evaluate each move; it's not a very interesting system anymore since it isn't playing under normal rules (~90 minutes per turn). Any "real" SC AI will have limitations on input, say 300 actions per minute. It'd be pretty interesting to see how few actions per minute an AI could use to defeat the top human players.
