And why on Earth would you define it that way? That's knowledge -
intelligence is how well that knowledge can be acquired and used.

Also, create better algorithms. See
http://www.sl4.org/archive/0606/15277.html . That may be nitpicking
here, though, since no-free-lunch theorems might bound increase in
algorithmic quality as well.
Any bounds are very, very high, though, way above human efficiency,
and likely enough to allow hard takeoff with any reasonable
information input:
