Whether AI is AGI does not depend on the speed at which it operates/thinks. Clearly all the theoretical work done by AGI will be done orders of magnitude quicker than humans can do it.
It is an open question to what extent practical experimentation/work will be a bottleneck for the theoretical work. It stands to reason that it is improbable that it will be the bottleneck for 100% of the speed of treatment development.
