The bigger the speed difference is, the more the performance increases IF the programs were almost same level at the beginning. It is - of course different when both programs are NOT the same level at the beginning. 64 MB hash catapults Fritz maybe into the tops. The book and the learning help even more. The 3 times speed give Fritz the 60 ELO points ahead ! I guess this will decrease when the others were tested on FAIR machines. Than the results with get a tendency into 50% and if the others cook or make their learn-algos better, suddenly anything is possible again. The big ahead-advantage of fritz is not real. It is just SPECULATIVE in the moment due to a few parameters. If the others react and change these parameters, the advantage will decrease. Believe me.
