No, it's not processed faster. If you're talking about a serial stream, the sample is taken at some point in the middle of the defined "bit" time. The rising and falling edges are not instantaneous due, I believe, to natural capacitance of the circuit and other factors. You can't just gate something on or off instantaneously.
Keep in mind that everything in a computer is synchronized to a clock cycle or some multiple of a clock cycle (though modern CPU's have several different clocks doing things) the point is, any bits, whether processed in serial, sampled at a particular frequency, or determined by rising/falling edges, or processed in parallel as is the case with a memory or instruction bus, everything marches to the beat of the same drummer, so just because you have non-instantaneous rising/falling edges, this doesn't affect the processing speed.

Rise and fall times for most technologies are nearly equal, so no, it doesn't affect the 'processing' time. As Marc mentioned, the device doing the processing is clocked at a rate consistent with the technology, and individual bits are sampled after an appropriate settling time, nearer the middle of the bit time than the transition. What is significantly affected by transition time is the power consumption of the device. Power is defined as the product of the voltage across and the current through a path. For semiconductor devices, a one is defined as a high voltage with little or no current, while a zero is a relatively high current with little or no voltage; both states consume little power. But the time spent between states can consume large amounts of power because the voltage and current are both non-zero. The quicker we move from one state to the other, the less power is consumed, and the less heat we have to get rid of.

Apart from what the other responses mention, the processor doesn't read bits serially, it reads them over a bus, so 11110000 would be processed at the same speed as 10101010
Would 11111111 be processed at the same speed as 00000000 would be a better question!

The properties of circuits that affect changing voltages and currents are capacitance and inductance. Transistors are a switch that are controlled by the voltage on the gate, depending on the type of transistor. As I understand it, it is the capacitance on that gate that determines the switching speed of the transistor and the overall clock speed that can be used for the chip.

It's transferred by bodily fluids, so perhaps blending them up first and spraying them with the mist?

I think hitting the deck from 20000 ft is going to blend them up pretty well.

Yeah, I had considered that, but it relies on random splatter patterns...

We could drop a few hundred neutron bombs all over Africa, it would be faster and thorougher! And just as discriminatory!
|
|
|
|

Africa, I thought we were working on IS not Africa, man you a glutton for punishment!
So why not neutron bomb both the middle east and Africa, and while you are at it reduce the world population and nuke India and China. Oh and I hate paedophiles so nuke any country with lots of them, include the Catholic church in that lot.
Just to be fair randomly drop a few hundred across any location not included in the above.

Well said, my thoughts exactly!
Let's not forget to bomb those damn commies too (Puttin & pal), South America (let's not forget where the drug comes from!) and.... I think I forgot somewhere....

What as Africa got to do with ISIS?

Well first I want to say, as it might not have been obvious, that it was a sarcastic post!
And then, to answer your question, for some reason my geography is confused and I always place the middle east in Africa, though people from there told me it is not so! But hey, arguably it's just next to it with no obvious demarcation that I can see!
To add to the confusion, don't we say that Africa is the cradle of humankind?
And don't we say that Irak is in the location of what was known as Summer, one of the most ancient human civilization with writing?
You can see why I am confused now, I am sure...

That's an understatement.

I'd guess it would be totally ineffective, but if it wasn't it would cause indiscriminate pain and suffering to an entire region. That sounds awesome.
