    This is pretty non starter for most tasks. The point of computers is to be able to do things quickly, not just do them at all. Data centers are already very concerned about cost and power efficiency.

      Most things go much slower than they should because devs are stupid and code like shit. Speed isn’t a real issue, bad devs are.

        To a point. They are talking about slowing down how long it takes an instruction to complete. Unless you gain a lot of efficiency with very little slow down, it’s not going to happen anytime soon. At some point in the future it may become worth doing so, but we’re no where near that point now.
