I think superintelligence means progress. How fast is progress with a superintelligent being on earth? Could be exponential. We, humans, continue to make progress in everything that we do. Small breakthroughs compound on top of each other. For example, in order to make machines, we had to invent fire and iron. In order to make accurate weather forecasts, we had to invent the microchip, then supercomputers.

If a superintelligence can accelerate progress, there's no knowing what it can invent on top of each invention.
