I'm fairly sure that trapped-in-a-tiny-box Einstein would go completely mad having so little data to analyze in so much subjective time.

Past experiments in sensory deprivation suggest that human neurology requires high-information input to function properly - and I see no reason why artificial brains would be any different. If the speed of thought increases by a factor of a thousand, the access to data must increase by at least as much.
