Subject: Does SSDF list show diminishing returns? Some calculations

In latest SSDF list benefit from Athlon 1200 Mhz to K6-2 450 Mhz is:

Deep Fritz      72
Gambit Tiger	80
Tiger           71
Shredder        99
Junior          55
Gandalf        142

In average this is +84 points (weighted by number of games). In CSS 1/01 there
is some benchmarks for Atlon with all these program. I compared them to my own
K6-450 and got speedup:

Deep Fritz      3,40
Junior          3,43
Shredder        4,73
Tiger(both)     2,67
Gandalf         5,30

In average 3,70. This gives (log2/log3,7)*84 = 45 points for speed doubling.
Previously it has been spoken about 60-70 points for doubling, so there is
diminishing returns now!
