Hmm, that would be me too :)

>4) You are invited to shoot the above into pieces.

My main argument against it would be that the SSDF ratings have
(approx) 30 elo error margins to either side. If you compare the
ratings of two engines, you have to cope with this twice. The
speedup ELO numbers are on the order of 50-130 ELO.

Basically, I think this means that using those numbers to predict
future performance will have an error margin so big, that the list
is meaningless.
