If a program has a better O(f(n)) algorithm, at some point it will dominate.

With chess programs, it takes a lot of data to find out which program really is
stronger.  This is especially true when the programs are close in strength.  The
tournaments we run usually won't tell us nearly as much as we might think.  I
just ran 1000+ matches at G/60 but you really can't tell which program is the
strongest even with that many games.
