Ok let's try this again:

YOU WROTE;
"If Jouni played some games this fast or faster, then my opinion would be
the same, it's too fast.  That isn't to say that I have not run games at
that speed, I have, and they were too fast to judge the strength of
a program.
Pete

THEN CHRISTOPHE ASKED;
Why?
Can you please explain why?
You must certainly have some evidence?
    Christophe

Now if I read your reply correctly, you do not understand his question,
or to quote you exactly "It does not ask any specific question."

so he needs to be more specific......OK

Thanks.
