Don't make vague accusations. Please tell us exactly what you are talking about.
I don't remember any occurence of something like that, and/or that could be
consider unfair.
The only times it happened the 2 programs tested on the faster hardware were
already on top of the list anyway. Then as fast as they could the SSDF added the
other programs.
I don't remember any unfairness happening when they switched to new hardware.
