A resource-bounded version of the statement "no algorithm recognizes all non-halting Turing machines" is equivalent to an infinitely often (i.o.) superpolynomial speedup for the time required to accept any coNP-complete language and also equivalent to a superpolynomial speedup in proof length in propositional proof systems for tautologies, each of which implies P!=NP. This suggests a correspondence between the properties 'has no algorithm at all' and 'has no best algorithm' which seems relevant to open problems in computational and proof complexity.
