A computer that could run a program like that would probably be super fast. If it could think a thousand times faster than human then it would perceive us as we would perceive slow moving trees. IMO.

It wouldn't have to go to all the trouble of mixing data /DNA. Single cell life forms self replicate, or with a modem there could even be a collective or hive mind controlling thousands of other computer life like ants or bees.
