Only if you want to think about models of computation that allow performing infinite operations in finite amounts of time, which I don't think are that interesting.

I'd say if our universe makes such computations possible, then that would be very interesting.

Absolutely! Similarly, if our universe allowed instantaneous travel and free energy, that would also be very interesting.

Not holding my breath for either.

The fact that you can breath at all is quite a miracle. Not sure why you are so pessimistic about the rest.
