Subject: Two computers vs. one computer

I have noticed quite a few recent posts reporting program vs. program
results obtained on a single computer. I continue to be a little mis-
trustful of those results as a reliable indicator of the relative
playing strengths of the programs.  It has always seemed to me that some
programs are more greatly affected by the 1-machine format than others.
Is my concern misplaced here?  Is there now some consensus that the
results are not in the long run different because a single machine rather
than 2 separate but identical machines are used?
