I'm trying to understand this thread frankly. Is it because Rybka is known to
have progressed several hundred points that you started it? If you take any
program of sufficient strength, and compare it to its earliest generations
you'll find a huge disparity. Just try comparing Hiarcs 4 with Hiarcs 10 on the
smae hardware. Fritz 3, 4 or even 5 with Fritz 9. You won't find them all on the
same hardware on the SSDF, but this is normal as they were many years apart, and
it would be kind of insane to test an engine that is neither the more recent
generation nor even competitive.

The above is bizarre since Rebel Decade is a freeware, dumbed down version of
Rebel 10, and Rebel 12 and PD1.1 are programs that are one generation apart.

As to the SSDF, the best I could come up with is:

3 Shredder 9.0 UCI  256MB Athlon 1200 MHz 2818   24   -23   995   70%  2667
33 Shredder 5.32  256MB Athlon 1200 MHz   2660   26   -26   739   50%  2657
