Here, have a written downvote because I think I'm running low on potential downvotes and don't want to use one on you. Firstly, I would say that your bolded title doesn't really provide as much of a description -- you're really saying more that you want to be a fast mind on a slow computer. And secondly... doesn't that scenario make clear that you would be terribly lonely, if the way you were perceiving things remains the same? I'd much rather coexist with equally fast minds, which in this scenario would be quite likely.
Well, I were intending to write more on that post. But I guess i wasn't clear abut that.
Anyway, the "modification" in this case is running yourself faster than realtime and using a simple simulation instead of say a robotic body. But that's not really the point.
I guess the reason I thought this to be an appropriate post is the insight that just having lots of time, with no other changes, is enough to enable you to do superhuman things. Yea, it's all ridiculously obvious to anyone who've spent 5 min on LW but I included it for completeness i guess and because later posts might build of it.
