I know that since many problems are beyond the positional and endgame Knowledge of any program and even tactically programs need several hours to see the hardest things, is it safe to say that while most of the top programs find the solution to the harder proplems at about the same time that since they can be at 16 or more hours that if the program were 540 elo stronger they would solve something even on the same hardware but without taking so long. For example Fritz Chess Tiger and GT2 will take 15 or 16 hours to find the solution to Nolot #10 on a 1Ghz using 192-256MB for HashTable. If those programs were strengthened 540 points or the estimated equivalent of 6 ply wouldn't they solve this and others in tournament time without having to have a 260+ Ghz Cpu.
