But does it make one better/worse than the other? not to mention, it is well awared by many that engine can be easily tuned to make good results in test suites. (ie, gandalf is good in many test suites, I still beat gandalf quiet often, in ICS, running on pentium II 400 using an unknown beta program, while gandalf runs on a pentium III 800-1000mhz !!) i still go through the eng-eng method. IMO test suites does'nt tell the whole story. just a thought, pavs ;)
