"...is that during the tournament the programs run on processors of different
speeds. Surely it would be a fairer test of the program if the processor speeds
were equal for all? The programmers seem to think that speed is not all that
crucial (though they typically say it is ‘helpful’), but I suspect it may be a
little more important than they care to admit."

I wonder why he can't understand that some programs are build with different
platform in mind and that upgrading from 500 to 750mh cpu is "helpfull" but not
"crucial".
