Wait a second.  I thought it meant _everything_ if you are using the same CPU
(and other major components) in both cases.

I am well aware that MHz does not mean much between different CPUs and/or
different programs and certainly is NOT proportional to chess rating, but I
thought it WAS proportional to benchmark speed under the circumstances listed.
(You did not say, "only slightly weaker," you said "only slightly slower.")
