While I respect the engineering required to pump power and information at high rates to brute force the equation; it's possilbe that quantum computers will make the complexity of the calculation moot. I don't know much about that.
I would say that the computational 'landscape' is evolving.

Today, the University of North Texas' new computer does the calculation in under two-seconds.
The complexity of the calculation is what it is. It will always be what it is. It's not negotiable.
It will be the wind tunnel which ultimately takes the fall.
Power to the petaFlops !
