It seems to me that the problem in the counterlogical mugging isn’t about how much computation is required for getting the answer. It’s about whether you trust Omega to have not done the computation beforehand, and whether you believe they actually would have paid you, no matter how hard or easy the computation is. Next to that, all the other discussion in that section seems irrelevant.
