What I meant to say was that for equal intervals of time 
(each X number of years), the speed of computers increases
exponentially. So that it is not uncommon have the need to
make MW projects that run on computers that are 
1x 2x 4x 8x 16x 

That is why I think a slider that controls the speed of
projects that we want to run on such a variety of 
hardware needs to have something exponential in it, to.
