I see what you mean, but 100 Mhz should not account for such a loss by Shredder
6, for all i know Shredder 6 might have been using the 600 Mhz, what is more
important is that, if i remeber correctly, Shredder 5.32 was one of the engines
benefiting the most from faster hardware, when the ssdf upgraded. That might
account for the poor result, when you look at the two possible machines it could
have run on.
I have seen Shredder 6 on the Fritz 7 server do VERY well on fast hardware.
