I do not see what you lose from seeing palm tiger beating often pc programs that
are zillion times faster.

I agree that inspite of the result sjeng is too strong for the default speed
but sjeng is better than a lot of programs and it seems that
for weak programs being zillion times faster is not enough to get 50% and they
need to be some zillions times faster.

If people see that the palm tiger is better than a PC program then it is natural
if they want to underclock the palm or improve the hardware of the loser for
more games.

If people see that palm tiger is worse than the PC  program then they want to
improve the speed of the palm for more games.

I do not think that it is something against you.

In the case of sjeng I still expect sjeng to win a match thanks to the better
hardware inspite of the fact that the palm does not run in reduced speed and it
is too early to give sjeng better hardware but if we see that sjeng is losing
again and again then I may change my opinion.
