I thought it was pretty well determined that Doubling the Speed, for the top
programs, added "only" around 40-50 ELO points to the strength.

Perhaps someone here could tell us:
In a (say) 16 game match between identical programs (say F7a), on two computers
where one is twice as fast as the other (same RAM, same Hash etc), what is the
expected score?

Thanks guys
