I'm not too up to date on my cosmology but isn't it still theorized that dark matter accounts for more mass than visible matter? I would expect advanced civilizations to minimize energy wastage through electromagnetic emissions. I'm not sufficiently knowledgeable about physics to know whether computronium would possibly have the theorized characteristics of dark matter however.
