You have to multiply them, otherwise you would also have to compare the output of a company with a single developer with the output of a company with a thousand developers, after all a company can hire an arbitrary number of developers. Running a thousand agents in parallel for one hour is the same as running a thousand agents one after another for a total of a thousand hours.
Well not really. The point is "There are some things that are sped up by a very large factor, easily over 1000000x.", this is obviously referring to wall clock time. Not "agent time".
Yes companies/large groups of humans are sometimes also a lot faster at doing some things than a singular person. I'm not sure why that matters or what your point with that is.
