I do not know ruffian's results but
you can see results of knightdreamer in the GCP and the Wac test suites
in the following link

http://www3.tripnet.se/~owemelin/johan/KnightDreamer.html

If you click on version history you get

Testsuit results for KnightDreamer 3.1 on 733MHz PIII(seconds/problem):
WAC:
  0.1 254/300
  1   290/300
  5   297/300
ECM-GCP
  0.1 29/183
  1   76/183
  5   118/183
  20  140/183

You also get information that claims that knightdreamer is realtively weaker
positionally than in tactical test suites.
