Exactly. A better transistor or a lower complexity algorithm for a
computational bottleneck in an AGI (and implementing such) is a
self-improvement that improves the AGI's ability to make further
improvements -- i.e., RSI.
Likewise, it is not inconceivable that we will soon be able to improve
human intelligence by means such as increasing neural signaling speed
(assuming the increase doesn't have too many negative effects, which it
might) and improving other *individual* aspects of brain biology. This
would be RSI, too.
