They can lose on time only in blitz games but people are interested in 40/120 games(the ssdf list is only about these games). If the hardware is 40 times faster than 2 hours/40 moves is the same as 3 minutes/40 moves with the fast hardware and programs usually do not lose games on time when I tell them 3 minutes/40 moves. Some program like Hiarcs7.32 or Crafty will never lose on time even at 1 minute/game. Uri
