The universe appears to have at least 3 unique "labor saving devices" in it that might be called an "Upper limit on operations per second throttle".
1. As a large objects begin to approach a fraction of the speed of light relative to another object, their volume along that dimension of movement approaches zero volume, to all external observers. Throttle on CPU/sec as life floods the unit.
2. As a large objects begins to approach a fraction of the speed of light relative to other objects that object is surrounded by a bubble of time, that passes infinitely fast relative to other observers along the dimension of movement. So if you want to make a ship that consumes all the operations per second available to the universe at that place, it's fine, but when your shenanigans are finished you look up and see the solar mass powering your computer has gone supernova 18 billion years ago. Where did everyone go? Throttle on CPU/sec as life floods the unit.
3. As spacetime expands away from us, there are stars emitting light that will eventually reach earth, but in the time it took you to read this sentence, they have passed the light-speed barrier, and now their light cannot reach earth. 20 thousand stars per second are lost to this phenomenon. Given another 100 trillion years, the only observable stellar objects will be the one in our galaxy. Everything else will be too far away for light speed to overcome the speed at which the fabric of space is departing. The speed of spacetime on both ends of the univese seems not to be limited by the speed of light. Explaining how all the points of light in the sky will eventually be too far away for light speed to communicate their status to us. Throttle on CPU/sec as life floods the unit.
