The flip side is that the current programs running at some
future machines at 300 GHz won't be able to crush the current
programs on 1 GHz any more convincingly (in terms of how
many moves the slower machine can hang on) than what happened
in this matchup.

This is the same effect that many players have experienced
when upgrading their hardware to 2-3 times faster one and
then being disapponted, after all the expense and hopes,
when they can't even notice any difference in the perceived
program strength (aginst humans).
