Proper scale, please.  Even if you're at 1000:1 speedup, there are 1440
minutes per day - so, sure, a minute in the physical world might be 16
hours 40 minutes to you, but you would notice it change over time.

If you want, say, 100 years (since "lifetime" becomes ambiguous: why would
an upload necessarily age?) in 5 physical minutes, that's about 10 million
to 1 speedup.
