I think of this too. And I break it down into ads and operations. An ad is simply summing two inputs of some kind. In operation, might be a change of state or an input coming online or going away. Something analogous to the bit operations and or not exclusive or and friends.
With all the physics talk of information being fundamental, I suspect we will find both an upper bound and a lower bound.
The upper bound will be something like compute power per volume divided by energy or some similar construct. Basically you can only pack so much information and so many operations into a given region of space and energy level possible for that energy for that region of space to contain.
The lower bound might be something like the plank constant for computation. What's the smallest unit of space and energy level that can support an add, for example. It's interesting to think about.
Sorry for the typos I used voice dictation on this one
