The original post stipulated no real time travel.  But from a
subjective viewpoint of a person in a checkpointed simulation, it
looks like time travel.

You are correct though.  An alternate way to look at it would be
adjusting a simulation.

Drexler and I have written about speeding up minds by a million fold.
The same hardware could simulate a million parallel simulations.
