The other possible interpretation is quite obvious, if you just reorder the sentences a little bit. IE: "If it couldn't consult its opening book, if you were to remove the database, you can have a computer ten times faster than it is today, ten times faster than DB, easily, [and] my result would improve immediately." The somewhat jumbled sentence order could be a result of any number of things. Difficulty speaking English, or difficulty translating Russian, or an error transcribing it, etc. etc. etc. -Tom
