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.

That makes no sense, because then I could also just give the task to a million people working on it in parallel and the speed-up would disappear. You have to compare all the resources used and not pick an arbitrary one like wall-clock time because resource can often be traded for each other.
