This just proves that "pure" in this sense is a useless concept.

  How so? All I'm seeing is that some speedups aren't possible. It still seems like a useful concept, particularly since "faster" was never one of its promises (maybe "easier to parallellize", though.).

    Interestingly, in some cases it is actually faster. Modern hardware is peculiar in that respect.
