An important point is that Compartmentalized Mind, Altered Time Rate and Duplication interact multiplicatively. Consider:

You split into two copies (Duplication), each of which is twice as fast as a human (or a 'normal' AI - using ATR), and besides, each AI is programmed for multitasking (Compartmentalized Mind). Net effect: 2 instances of AI, each providing 4 mental man-hours per hour, a total 8-fold improvement in productivity compared to a normal human in solving mental problems that are subject to multi-threading.

Of course, you should make sure the hardware is good enough to support all that code . . .

Edit: According to Kromm, ATR+CM interact additively, though Duplication is still multiplicative.
