Well, as you know there is relation between speed and time, slower machines
would need more time.
Ok, programs don't scale the same on different hardware and some programs may
have their time management messed up (although I believe that indicates a bad
engine design).

If we had enough games, this would smooth out and we would get nice average
rating performances. It's not like those lists are done with laser precision
anyway (statistical noise being a factor and all).

Yes, Rome wasn't build in a day, but we have lots of people doing tournaments,
it's just a matter of coordinating the results.

Actually I would prefer a list that went "all the way down".

There is no reference between e.g. quark and fritz when they aren't on the same
list.
