Imagine an AI that's exactly as smart as Einstein, but thinks a thousand times faster. Now imagine a thousand of it. This fits easily within your speculations about limits to intelligence, since we know that Einstein-level intelligence can exist; even so it sounds pretty darn capable. I bet that Thousandfold Overclocked Albert could do some pretty impressive stuff. I find it very plausible that there are limits on intelligence, but those limits are high enough that this should not be very comforting.
