Maintaining a 5-dan performance certainly is impressive - but the fast 
time limit makes it somewhat less so.  Programs handle fast time limits 
better than humans do.

This sounds as if I am decrying CrazyStone's performance.  That is 
certainly not my intention.  I'll try again:

A 5.4-dan performance is pretty awesome.  A 5.4-dan performance with a 
strong positive slope is even more awesome.  A 5.4-dan performance with 
a positive second derivative is unheard of!
