Of course, the result was a bit strange, with Shredder underneath (later
corrected, possibly via learning).  At any rate, Fruit Massy, on even hardware
is as strong as professional programs according to my tests so far (only 5 days
around the clock, so lots of room for error exists, even from bottom to top of
the list).  But I think the current version is a stunning improvement.

For the fine result on 50% inferior hardware, I think my wild guess proved true.

IMO-YMMV.
