especially because computers don't have to click the relevent move with a mouse. They just think it and its done. Make a computer go program move the mouse and click like the human or make a computer go program physically place the stone on the board and if a computer can win in speed go, i'll be impressed then. Although that is a somewhat different task.

I would not consider it very impressing nor interesting if a fast 10k program beats strong players on time. It think the stronger player will win with 10 seconds per move, but lowering the time limit until the stronger player loses on time is just silly.
