To get a better idea of what the eye really "sees", you need to look at what it would take to generate a realistic video replacement, like IMAX.
IMAX resolution is ~ 10,000 x 7,000 x 24 bit color @ 24 fps = 40,320,000,000 = 40 gigabit/sec
And even IMAX resolution is far from what reality, perhaps by as much as a factor of 10. So while the eye may not see at a rate of 40 gigabit/sec, the brain can "see" and process at that rate.

If you look further down in the patch, it then references an array with offset 'id'. In a language like Java this would throw an ArrayIndexOutOfBounds exception, NOT read random memory and possibly cause a crash.
So in fact a stricter language would fix this problem.
If you want to see how bad this has become, look at the current internet traffic report. Internet traffic appears to have come to a halt.
It can't really be as bad as it looks there (since I can still get through:), but this corresponds to the time I started seeing the attack in my server logs.
