One metric you may wish to try is the "Sentience Quotient" which is a measure of bits per second per kilogram. Its dominated by the speed of neurons, more than the body size. The reaction time of small organisms tends to be faster because the signal gets to propagate less length. | |

Perhaps I should ask at Biology Stack Exchange the question "the more an organism is smaller, the more its information processing is faster?" (and maybe even also "the more an organism is smaller, the faster it's going through evolution?"). | |
