I notice that there has been no response by Vincent here.

He has accused me of

(a) fabricating data.

(b) having a poor memory

(c) making false statements

I point out a simple math error on _his_ part, and I get no response
back?  All he had to do was _read_ the article he was supposedly quoting
data from, and then re-check to be sure he didn't use wrong numbers for
his comparison...

As I said, so far as I know, both Cray Blitz and Crafty saw their NPS scale
perfectly linearly with the number of cpus used.  That says _nothing_ about
parallel speedup of course, because of the search overhead issue.  However,
the old DTS paper, and currently available SMP versions of Crafty certainly
behave exactly as I said, contrary to Vincent's poor math skills...
