It also cost 2 months (FTA)... So the ever returning question is : how long does it take when NSA/military/government-levle funding is applied ?

It would scale linearly right? Double the amount of computing thrown at it, you'd half the time on average. Or am I mistaken?

Depending on the algorithm, you might be able to skip from GPGPU straight to ASIC.
