No.  Just _my_ program running on _my_ hardware, using _my_ book, with
_my_ initial setup.  I don't have a quad opteron.  I have a dual 2.8, I
have access to a quad 700, a quad 550, a quad 400, a quad P6-200, and some
non-SMP boxes.  I've played matches using slower than normal hardware to
equalize that aspect.

I've just found that with _my_ setup, results rarely match what others
produce, better or worse.  I don't use a fritz book.  I don't use one
machine for two programs.  I tune hash to the machine.  Etc.

It makes a difference.
