I've heard it argued that given the assumption of infinitely divisible time, one can theoretically achieve all the purported benefits of immortality in a finite amount of time, using a derivative of Zeno's paradox.
I think you may refer to Tippler Omega point. Also John Smart had similar ideas, as I remember, when he said that civilization would evolve to smaller and smaller entities, running on higher and higher speed. In result technological singularity will be also physical singularity.
Now we can't say if time is infinitely divisible. Plank time may be the limit.
