Right. If it's me being emulated, I'll request that they gradually increase my processing rate, so that I definitely won't go crazy before they respond to any request I have to slow it back down. Presumably when (my sped up emulation is) solving problems or programming, the local workspace will still seem quite snappy. That is, I won't go crazy for lack of intellectual or sensory stimulus, but perhaps I"ll suffer for lack of genuine companionship and communication - not too much unlike my present existence :)
