I think 30 years is an overstatement, thought it’s hard to quantify. However, I can think of a few things that makes me think this gap is likely to exist, and be significant in cryptography, and even more specifically in cryptanalysis. For hacking, the gap is clearly smaller, but a still nontrivial amount—perhaps 2 years.
