7 seconds to add two numbers; that's roughly, what, 10 orders of magnitude slower than without FHE? I'm not sure compute is that cheap.

It would be interesting to see a whole new generation of writing apps with hyper optimized code. We suddenly go back to the 1950s(?) in relative compute power for apps behind FHE.

Not sure what could be done with it at 7s though hah.

An order of magnitude order of magnitude

It’s orders of magnitude all the way down
