I am sure it is still a very good program.

However, there are only 5 games, so it is hard to draw conclusions.

Also, the hardware for P.ConNerS does not seem to have been upgraded to faster
CPU's, while all of the other programs surely have doubled or tripled their
speed.  Therefore, I am not at all surprised to see it lose some ground (if,
indeed, that is what has happened).

Since it isn't SMP, it's pretty amazing that it has done as well as it has.  I
would like to get a peek at the C code and see what is going on.
