The LLM doesn't even get 5 seconds; it's "killed" after its smallest unit of computation (which is also its largest unit of computation). And that computation is equivalent to reading the compressed form of a giant look-up table, not something essential to its behavior in a mathematical sense.
I'm not understanding how this is analogous to being killed every 5 seconds as opposed to being paused. Let's call it N seconds, unless you think length matters?

Sure, that's a totally separate issue though.
