Couple of issues for classification:

   1.  What is slow?  ( < 15K on P6-200)
   2.  What is fast?  ( > 15K on P6-200)
   2.  What is knowledge? (book, book lrn, positional learning,
                          evaluation, hash tables, endgame tablebases,
                          style)

   I think you are more qualified to answer than I am.  I'm not
sure there are many "slow" programs.  Is Diep a slow program?
Hiarcs was mentioned, but I do not know if it would meet any
defined criteria for mostly knowledge.  Any thoughts?

   I also agree with you that Ed could better classify Rebel
than I could.  Good program no matter how it is classified.

   I also think that Crafty has quite a bit of knowledge already
programmed in.  Just my opinion.  :)
