Maybe not.

I strongly suspect the result on fast computers (K6-2 450MHz) would be very
different.

I expect Genius to be less competitive on very fast hardware.

I did not try, but at least you should not take for granted that the order is
now reversed, unless you have results of Fritz6a, Genius6.5 and Hiarcs7.32 on
Pentium 90MHz.
