This would probably conclude that superintelligence will explode, because, looking only at more and more complex organisms, the computational power of evolution has decreased dramatically owing to larger generation times and smaller population sizes, yet the rate of intelligence increase has probably been increasing.

It seems hard to know how other parameters have changed though, such as the selection for intelligence.
