Vastly inferior? SSDF is testing 40/2h with 1200 MHz. CEGT is testing 40/40m
with 2000 MHz. That is not much different in terms of CPU cycles per move.

1200 MHz*180=216 billion cpu cycles per move
2000 MHz* 60=120 billion cpu cycles per move

So, the difference is smaller than 2:1 which means smaller than one ply. And of
course, within the same time CEGT can provide a larger quantity of games than
SSDF.

Anyway, by now we know Fruit 2.1 is the 2nd best engine. Just watch out how long
it takes before SSDF will come to that conclusion. Probably not before 2006.
They didn't even manage to release a rating for Shredder 9 yet... :))
