Now if the match is between >Human versus computer than I totally agree with you, that the difference should >be bigger benefiting the computer, but NOT Comp VS Comp. The opposite. The common conjecture is that the difference in comp-comp is bigger than the difference in comp-human games.

Your rating is based on comp-comp games so the rating against humans is irrelevant. My claim is that programs earn more than 40 elo in comp-comp games if I double their speed. I do not care much about their rating against humans. Uri
