I love this so much. Computing is right up against the limits of the universe and seeing that your 4 ghz processor has a cycle time of about 7 light-cm shows you exactly how close we are to that limit. Looking at the computing time spent on accessing a remote server 8000 km away also keeps things in perspective.
