Sure, but if we assume we manage to have a human-level AI, how powerful should we expect it to be if we speed that up by a factor of 10, 100, or more? As powerful as a a team of 10, 100 human slaves, or a little more, but within the same order or magnitude.

I’m not sure if that’s a good comparison. Compare the following cases:
A. 1 smart human, given 100 days to solve some problem
B. 100 smart humans, given 1 day to solve some problem.
C. 1,000 smart humans, given 1 day to solve some problem.
A would outperform B on most tasks, and probably even C. Most problems just aren’t that parallelizable.
That’s why I wrote “or a little more, but within the same order or magnitude”
