You think it couldn’t sort things as fast? Search through a specified data set as quickly? Factor numbers as as fast? If you think any of those things, I think you need to explain further. If you agree that such tasks need not take a hit, which tasks are we talking about?
Actually, many of the examples you list would have huge problems scaling to a planet wide intelligence, but that’s a side issue.
The space in algorithm land in which practical universal intelligence lies requires high connectivity. It is not unique in this—many algorithms require this. Ultimately it can probably be derived back from the 3D structure of the universe itself.
Going from on-chip CPU access to off-chip Memory access to disk access to remote internet access is a series of massive exponential drops in bandwidth and related increases in latency which severely limit scalability of all big interesting distributed algorithms.
I don’t really know what you mean.
