I think we've yet to match the (information processing ability)/(energy consumption x size) ratio of wetware.

  Sure, but we can fire up a room full of servers instead.

    Short and consistent feedback latency is crucial for movement coordination. Think adapting to wind conditions and landing/liftoff in rough conditions.

      It's a virtual environment; presumably, one could set the "wall clock" rate of the sim to account for inter-room, or even inter-continental comms latencies.

      At small enough scales -- and this is one of them -- air is not just a fluid, it is a viscous fluid. Movement will be more like swimming than flying; there won't be any landing or liftoff, so much as grabbing on and pushing off.
