As i see it speed would be hard to measure.
computers seem to be faster.. but I don't doubt for one second that the
human brain is not faster than the fastest
computer...

our flaw as I see it is recall.  while a computer retreves information
stored in it purfect about 99% of the time
a human brain has this fog called memory... where other informations can
get mixed in or parts left out.

which is what makes the computer a valuable asset.

now if computer and brain could be combined taking the best of both then
it
 would be possible to have one hell of
powerful being.

I think it is hard to say how fast a computer is to a brain or a brain
is
to a computer.. untill you can have both do
the same task ( like a benchmark).  only then could you get an accurate
portrail.
