	P.ConNerS hardware is not SMP. Any parallel search on it will be less efficient
that Deep Junior's parallel search, which is SMP (not to mention the required
major rewrite).
	My guess is that if Deep Junior is rewritten to run on P.ConNerS hardware, it
will be just as good as in the eight-way Xeon due to the unavoidable search
inefficiencies.
	I would be more interested to see P.ConNerS running on a Siemens Primergy, of
course after it is redesigned to take advantage of it.
