Right - very good point! But this is really only relevant for HFT algos, almost everything else is much less sensitive to speed and is also more parallelizable.

For HFT to work, it needs to be colocated I believe, and I haven't heard of anyone trucking in liquid N2 or producing it on premises though. Not saying it isn't happening, I'm involved in mid freq trading so I only have circumstantial knowledge.
