This has been posted before many times - I definitely can't understand it at
all.

Aside from some _very_ minor hardware issues (sure <5%) I'd expect 40/120 on
400Mhz to be completely equivalent to 40/40 on 1200 Mhz also according to time
management.

Yet some people (including you) seem to be very convinced that this is wrong.

Could you give some additional explanations ?

The point where I agree is that you can't compair sudden death time controls to
n moves/m minutes time controls - so please someone explain with Ed's example
above.

Regards,
Peter
