You have asked the $$$$$ question.  Here is my
answer (or opinion if you like).  :)  Take it with
a grain of salt or not at all.  :)

The SSDF has done a great job of testing and rating
computer programs.  The SSDF rating has a good correlation
with FIDE rated humans vs computer performance ratings.
see: Tony's page for my list and SSDF calibration games
http://home.interact.se/~w100107/welcome.htm

My opinion is that this is a good measure and is in line
with test suites (that are usually calibrated using SSDF
lists) and analysis of games by experts.  There will of course
be exceptions, however, the SSDF has done a good job in this
area.  If you want an expert opinion of programs (Hiarcs in this
case) on P200 hardware see:http://home.interact.se/~w100107/welcome.htm.
This was done by IM Kaufman and predates the latest SSDF revision of
ratings.

Best Regards,
Chris Carson
