I use a panel of different computers to decide if a version is better or not,
and this panel is not K6-2 only. I have for example a PIII-733.
For what you mention above, there could be several other explanations. I'm sure
you can find chess programs written before the K6-2 existed, and which would
behave exactly as you mentionned (linearity in speed/MHz when passing from K6-2
to Athlon). In this case you could not say that the author has optimized for
K6-2, isn't it?
