Consciousness speed all computations (to be sure it is only on all inputs except a finite number of exception, so it might not be directly practical), but if that happen, you can guess that the one computing more quickly will be better at tennis. When its opponent strike the ball, he feels (rightly) that has more time to react. I did not say that trying to be conscious cannot also impair. Just that consciousness speed-up the whole process. (Admittedly not in a usable algorithmic way). That still can be self for entities not aware of the first person delays, confronted to the limiting sum on all computations, here and now, below their substitution level.
