  It's easy. If program A and program B plays at 2600 in modern hardaware, but
program A plays at 2200 in a 486, and program B plays at 2000, then program A
gets less benefit from speed improvement than program B.
  Maybe my statement was lacking to say "assuming two programs that play the
same level now...". I thought it was obvious.
