> But clusters can work. AOL, with its 25 millions subscribers could yield a good size "cluster" with almost no network hopping. With the right diagnostic and configuration tools one could extract thousands of clusters (and compute routing tables) with intra-cluster packet delays (with high probability) below 50ms or even 30ms. And if one is looking only to create and then have room to store a gigantic table-base (say, as a worldwide endgame super-oracle), connection speed wouldn't matter. Similarly, the projects of the type 'Crafty goes deep' would work quite well with any number of computers via internet (and then 'Crafy goes dot-com' could nail for good the controversy on 'diminishing returns in chess').
