My computer's too slow

You can't buy a computer nowadays that's too slow to run Word Processors/Spreadsheets/Web browsers on.

So what would you be able to do on your computer if it was faster that you can't now?

Oh, I'd probably be satisfied if my desktop could solve the travelling salesman problem deterministically in O(log_n) time. Doesn't have to be fast, just has to be able to do it ...

So you'd like it to have qbits, rather than the regular kind :->

As an aside, part of the bit I quoted in my previous post (on high performance computing) reminded me of you:
And, finally, someone said: What an incredible opportunity! You get to make totally outrageous statements that you’ll never be held accountable for! How about offshore data centers, powered by wave motion, continuously serviced by autonomous robots with salamander-level consciousness, spidering around replacing chicklet-sized compute units, all made by the world’s largest computer vendor – Haier! [They make refrigerators.] And lots of graphs, all going up to the right!
