For example, a lot of programs have become SMP. This has happend because multiprocessor machines have become cheaper, so it is a hardware improvement that leads to software improvement. Besides that, you can chose your favourite program and compare versions. Let's say Fritz. Compare strength of versions 4.01, 5.32, 6, Deep Fritz. I think you can answer your own question, can't you?
