I don't think this is a reasonable guess at all .

It probably _is_ an educated guess for comp-comp .

From all I have seen reported by others or with my own eyes in comp-human
hardware is of much lesser value ( to what extent yet unmeasured ) .

I am not sure that say a Junior on a PIII500 will outperform a Junior on a
P233MMX at all by a significant margin in games against humans .

This is a non-educated guess too for sure but goes together well with what I
have seen so far .
