Culture minds are describes as largely being in 'hyperspace'; I assume this means they have faster connectivity than a proccessor which is completely located in normal, 3D space. OA transapients could use a Tipler Oracle, or more than one, to increase their processing capacity, so they could reach performance levels that exceed that of a hyperspace Mind; but I'm not certain how to compare the two.
I expect that Tipler Oracles are a relatively late development, and might not even be commonplace in the Current Era.
