Historically, it takes about 10 years for the top supercompter's computing power to increase by 3 orders of magnitude. From Wikipedia:
(The red line is the top supercomputer of the time, in gigaFLOPs. The top of the graph is 0.01 zettaflops, so another ~3 dectuplings are required.)

Depends what the definition of a supercomputer is. Is the bitcoin network a supercomputer?
While the historical trend is remarkable, energy usage might put limits on growth. Current fastest systems consume >20 MW, with all the high cost, heat dissipation issues etc that come with this.
