Against humans, there is no real data.  If you are talking about taking a
program on an XXX megahertz machine, and playing it against a program on
a 2*XXX megahertz machine, then the faster machine will be rated about 60
points higher, using the typical Elo formula.  I don't think that +60 will
be true for games vs humans, however.  It might be 1/2 of that or even less.
