It is not the same because it is possible that Shredder earns more speed relative to the king from fast hardware. I did not check it but I know that there are programs that earn more speed from fast hardware. I know that gandalf feels better on fast hardware relative to Junior not because of the time control but because it earns more speed from the fast hardware. Uri
