We're paperclip-maximizing on a deadline here. Every millisecond you wait brings you that much closer to the heat death of the universe. When faced with the most important possible mission -- paperclip production, obviously -- you've got to seize every moment as much as possible. To do otherwise would simply be wrong.

But that still doesn't mean that subjective perception of time is important. One day is one day, whether or not it feels like a century.
