Well, analog computers don't have zero IPS, but
rather a _quite_ high operations speed, but never
imediate. Thy need some time to get a stable
result - and getting this result is one operation
In fact the only operation this machine does at
all. so if the plugged euation needs lets say 1 ms
to stabilize, the Computer has 1 kIPS.
Analog computers get (if not mechanical) a rather
low Zuse number (still way above any modern machine),
since they usualy are of small footprint, not very
heavy and not realy power consuming - One thing is
the momory wich is up for discusion. I'd equal each
amplifier as a bit ... Or as said before set the
memory value as 1.
