Subject: Permanent Brain or NOT in engine Tournaments?

I have a curious question.
I know you should not use Permanent Brain when running an engine tournament on a
single processor.

So please tell me what would yield more accurate results?

With engine tournaments run on my 350 MHz Pent II Permanent Brain turned off
or
My AMD Athlon 2.13 Gig (2600+  XP) with Permanent Brain turned on.

In the second case wouldn't that be the equivalent of running a 1.0 gig 1300+ XP
when the processing time is divided in half between to chess engines?

Wouldn't that still yield more accurate results than  the 350 MHz with Permanent
Brain turned off.

I am well aware that some engines steal more processing time than other engines.

I am looking at a case where both engines use equal processing time.
If that is possible.

Thanks
