No... :o)) What we were meaning was, if you'd have to play 40 games engine X vs.
Y, you need either 40x the time one game lasts with 2 computers, but you could
play i.e. 40 games in 1/4 of that time using 8 computers. Because then, you
could play 4 games parallel each, at the same time...

(Nobody cares for doubles - which would occur in that case most certainly -
anyway, so I won't mention them... :o)
