Also depends on time control and hardware.
My verdict of "extremely strong" was true for 40/120 on my old 233 and 400 MHz
machines. On the 550's, quite a few programs are better (if only a bit) than
5555. On today's fastest hardware, it may look entirely different.

Personally, I don't think 8000 is weaker, it just plays more passively, but also
more solid. So if you play both against Program X, 5555 might end up +5 =10 -5
while 8000 might score +2 =18 -2.
