It will save no time.

All games are run at 40/2.  Hence, on a 200 MHz or a 200 GHz machine, a game
takes exactly the same time.  Since the greatest number of games have been
played on the older machines, they actually provide better calibrated data.  If
anything, the data from these older machines is superior, rather than inferior.
