I'm not sure that thinking speed alone would give you much. If I could think 10x faster my capabilities for things like math and physics wouldn't be that much faster. I can only keep so much of a given problem in my head, so I'd still need to write things down and work through the algebra. To avoid that, I'd need a pretty massive increase in working memory, proportional to the increase in speed

For sure, thinking faster alone will hit diminishing returns pretty fast. I think you need to assume the Being is also much "smarter" along all sorts of other dimensions, too.
