If you put a droplet of water in a warm bowl every 12 hours, the bowl will remain empty as the water will evaporate. That does not mean that if you put a trillion droplets in every twelve hours it will still remain empty.

It will also not be empty if I put the bowl in the sea, which is a remark about the nature of thoughthat that proves exactly as much as your comment.

The point I was trying to make was that the time you use to perform the calculation may change whether there is an "experience" on behalf of the calculation. Without specifying the basis if subjectivity, you can't rule anything out as far as what matters and what doesn't. Maybe the speed or locality with which the calculations happen matters. Like the water drops: given the same amount of time, eventually all the water will evaporate in either case leading to the same end state, but the the intermediate states are very different.
