I think that if  Ed finds a trick to do the same program with the same
evaluation function only 5 times faster then if we use this logic Rebel will be
a weaker positional player.

I know for sure nothing because we have not enough data of games against humans.

It is possible that one of the fast searchers like Nimzo or Junior is best
against humans and it is possible also that another slow searcher like
chesssmaster6000 is best against humans.

I think that the commercial Junior is not best against humans but
the reason is not the fact that it is a fast searcher.
